CBN was originally discovered more than a century ago, but it has recently been in the spotlight for sleep support. In a world where it seems like everyone is running low on quality rest, it’s no surprise why the compound has gained popularity and scientific acclaim. Now, Sunmed uses CBN in a wide range of hemp extract products for sleep, including our Broad Spectrum Sleep CBN Blackberry Tincture.
CBN is the sleepy cannabinoid for a few reasons. First, it has been shown to improve sleep latency, which is the time it takes for you to fall asleep after going to bed. CBN interacts with CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in relaxation and the sleep-wake cycle.*
Falling asleep faster is great, but it’s only one part of proper sleep. You also need to stay asleep and go through the proper stages, including deep sleep, REM, and others. CBN helps support healthy sleep quality and sleep cycles so that you’re less prone to cutting your sleep short.*
