Sick of over-the-counter medications that leave you feeling groggy and irritable the next day? Are natural supplements like melatonin just not cutting it? Are you stuck in an endless cycle of tossing and turning? Does falling asleep – and staying asleep – feel like a nightmare?
If you have been dreaming of a better night’s sleep, CBD and CBN may be able to help.
CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBN (Cannabinol) are two cannabinoids containing powerful properties that can help your sleep. They interact with the body’s naturally-occuring endocannabinoid system to jumpstart processes related to homeostasis.
Read on to learn more about how combining the natural properties of CBD and CBN can give you the better night’s sleep of your dreams.
The Powerful Properties of Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids like CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBN (Cannabinol)don’t just have sedative properties that can improve your sleep. They also have anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and analgesic (anti-pain) properties that can improve your sleep quality by reducing other bothersome symptoms.
Racing thoughts can keep you up all night. With their stress-relieving properties, CBD and CBN can calm an anxious mind, helping you ease into a deep state of relaxation. These cannabinoids bind with receptors along the nervous system to lower your cortisol levels.
Sometimes, it’s not your thoughts that are keeping you wide awake, but your body instead. Whether you are kept awake by throbbing, soreness, aches, or shakes – pain is no laughing matter – and it can keep you from drifting off to sleep. With their analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, CBN and CBN can lower your sensitivity to pain and reduce your inflammation. In turn, you can stop focusing on your uncomfortable symptoms and let your mind float off to Dreamland.
Better Sleep is a Couple of Drops Away
Maybe you have used CBD oil (Cannabidiol) as a sleep aid before, but never thought of combining it with CBN oil (Cannabinol). So why should you?
Well, research has shown that the cannabis compounds in full-spectrum products work synergistically to amplify their properties. This means that cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids are more beneficial together than on their own.
The same goes for CBD and CBN. Because they bind differently to cannabinoid receptors along the nervous system, they produce slightly different effects.
So although both CBD and CBN produce analgesic, anxiolytic, and sedative effects, they do it in a slightly different way. Combining the two cannabinoids increases the possibility of relief.
You can combine pure isolate CBN oil and full spectrum CBD oil at home as a sleep aid. Everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, so experiment to find what gives you the best night’s sleep. Start with a small dosage of each to see how your body reacts.
Because CBD and CBN do not have psychoactive properties like THC, you can feel confident that you won’t feel high when using them. Instead, you will feel the amazing benefits of hemp-derived products without the bothersome intoxicated feeling. No paranoia, no munchies – just a great night’s sleep from CBD and CBN.
