Why CBN for sleep?
Sleep is one of the most important things we do for our bodies — it affects everything from our mood to our immune system, our cognitive function and metabolic health. But even when we're exhausted, getting good sleep can be surprisingly hard. Busy schedules, constant screen time, and stress don’t help. The good news? Natural sleep is still possible without the aid of melatonin or prescription sleep medication. CBN might be the support your body needs to finally wind down and rest the way it’s meant to—night after night.
What is CBN?
CBN, or cannabinol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Unlike CBD or THC, it’s not directly produced by the plant in large amounts. Instead, it forms over time as THC breaks down — usually through exposure to oxygen and light. That means older cannabis or aged hemp tends to have higher levels of CBN. CBN is non-intoxicating, meaning it won’t get you high. But it's been studied for its calming, sedating properties, making it especially interesting for people looking to support better sleep, reduce anxiety, or promote physical recovery.
Through the Entourage Effect, CBN may enhance the effects of other cannabinoids:
With THC: May amplify its sedative properties while reducing intensity
With CBD: Could boost anti-inflammatory effects
How does CBN work?
CBN works with your body’s endocannabinoid system — the internal network that helps keep things like sleep, mood, and stress in balance. It interacts with two main types of receptors: CB1, which are mostly found in the brain and nervous system, and CB2, which are more common in the immune system. CBN has only a mild effect on CB1 receptors, so it won’t produce a high like THC. But it connects more strongly with CB2 receptors, which may help promote relaxation and reduce inflammation — making it a natural option for supporting better sleep and recovery.
Like other cannabinoids, CBN is fat-soluble, meaning it absorbs better when taken with fats. The way you consume CBN affects how quickly and effectively it works:
Edibles (Gummies, Capsules): Processed by the liver, leading to slower absorption but longer-lasting effects.
Inhalation (Vaping, Smoking): Enters the bloodstream quickly but fades faster than edibles.
While research on CBN is still developing, early studies suggest it may be a natural sleep aid and offer other wellness benefits.
