Cannabinol (CBN) is one of the more fascinating cannabinoids found in the Cannabis sativa plant. Structurally, it’s similar to cannabidiol (CBD), but its distinct soothing properties have earned it the title of the “sleepy” cannabinoid in recent years. 

CBN has sleep-inducing potential but does not produce psychoactive effects like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). As a minor cannabinoid, CBN is found in smaller amounts in most hemp plants, particularly when plants are in later developmental phases. 

As far as how CBN works, it interacts with the endocannabinoid system in a unique way compared with its cannabinoid cousins. While delta-9 THC is known for its direct binding affinity with CB1 receptors, CBN interacts primarily with CB2 receptors located throughout the body. This means you get a unique array of relaxing effects that differ from the usual CBD or THC experience.

Through further research partnerships and CBN clinical trials with Radicle Science, Sunmed is discovering more and more interesting CBN qualities, specifically involving sleep. Sunmed’s rest collection includes CBN-rich full spectrum oil tinctures, gummies, and more.

The answer lies in its structure and how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system. CBN binds loosely with CB2 receptors, which are closely linked to sleep signaling, circadian rhythm, immune function, and other aspects of rest and recovery.

Because of daily stressors, it’s easy for these receptors to become dysregulated and imbalanced over time. Proper sleep hygiene can certainly help — yet cannabinoids like CBN help the body to relax on a molecular level — allowing the body to restore and return to a state of balance. 

You can expect a CBN nighttime routine to bring healthy sleep signaling, which means slow and steady whole-body relaxation as your body prepares for rest. Other wellness benefits include reduced tension, relief from aches and discomfort, proper immune function, and mental clarity. Other popular CBN experiences include an easy time falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up refreshed without the groggy side effects.*

CBN does not produce the instant “knock-out” effect you may experience taking heavy sleeping pills and hormone supplements like melatonin. While effective, sleeping pills often cause unwanted side effects that prevent deep, restorative REM sleep our bodies need to function. On top of that, high melatonin intake can also dysregulate the body’s natural sleep cycle — causing groggy, disorientating effects that can last throughout the day.*

Our rest collection is 100% hormone-free, relying on natural plant compounds to let you achieve your fullest sleep (and wake) potential. Sunmed’s Full Spectrum Rest Gummies will not intoxicate or produce acute sedative effects with the suggested serving. Our premium hemp formulas support the natural processes your body can perform on its own — we’re just here to provide the tools it needs. 

Of course! Our Full Spectrum Rest Gummies utilize CBD and CBN, along with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight, allowing for an enhanced entourage effect. The theory is that different cannabinoids interact with different receptors in the endocannabinoid system, meaning having multiple cannabinoids present in the formula can maximize benefits. 

Each serving of our Full Spectrum Rest Gummies is well-balanced with organic CBD, a small amount of THC, minor compounds like CBN, and terpenes. CBN and CBD can absolutely be used together, and in our view, it’s the optimal way to get the effects of CBN.

Every cannabinoid is slightly different, and even the smallest shift in the chemical structure translates to unique effects and outcomes. In the case of CBN and CBD, you’re getting two similar cannabinoids that interact with varied receptors and functions. While CBN may focus on regulating CB2 receptors to prime your brain for sleep, CBD can offer a general sense of calm to help you wind down.*

The beauty of the entourage effect is that these compounds produce unique synergistic outcomes when combined. You’re not just getting each compound's benefits but a fresh and new interaction with the endocannabinoid system. 

These CBD gummies are third-party lab-tested, and rich in CBN for deep sleep and overall wellness. Natural flavors and ingredients like cane sugar, pectin, and citric acid create a mixed berry taste you’ll love.*

It’s easy to make CBN gummies a part of your evening routine. Just take one gummy an hour before bed and ease into the final phase of your day. Gummies are a long-lasting delivery method, so you can expect this formula to last all night. These gummies take anywhere from half an hour to an hour to digest. Be sure you’re winding down with healthy, calming techniques like deep breathing, reading, and more.

Our high-quality Full Spectrum Rest Gummies pave the way for natural, restorative sleep with a powerful yet balanced formula. Take back control of your evening routine and get the sleep you need to win the day.*
