If you struggle with sleepless nights, Polite’s Rest Well is here to help. Rest Well features a standout ingredient we’re excited to share with you: CBN. Short for Cannabinol, CBN is gaining popularity for its ability to promote relaxation and support deeper, more restful sleep.
As research on CBD and cannabinoids continues to evolve, we’re discovering that CBN is emerging as an effective natural option for improving sleep. It offers the calming, wind-down effects of THC without unwanted downsides like intoxication, REM sleep disruption, risk of dependency, or increased anxiety.
In this article, we will explore six key facts about CBN, including how it works and why it’s a featured ingredient in Polite’s Rest Well products. While research on CBN is still emerging, early findings suggest it plays a valuable role in supporting deeper sleep.
Since quality sleep is essential to overall well-being, let’s dive in and learn how CBN can help you improve your rest. CBN… You can think of this asCannaBinoidNighttime!
The molecular structure of CBN compared to other prominent cannabinoids.
CBN is a natural byproduct of THC as it ages.Over time, or through oxidation from exposure to air, heat, or light, THC breaks down and converts into CBN. For this reason, CBN is typically sourced from aged cannabis. Due to growing demand for CBN, CBN is becoming more widely available in the cannabinoid marketplace.
CBN is gently sedating and can support better sleep quality. CBN possesses natural calming properties that may promote deeper, more restful sleep. A recent animal study highlights that CBN contributes to more NREM sleep (including deep sleep), more REM sleep, and longer sleep duration overall. Researchers theorize that a specific metabolite (or byproduct of metabolization) of CBN called 11-hydroxy-CBN may be responsible for the cannabinoid’s ability to enhance sleep.
CBN may reduce the number of awakenings during sleep and overall sleep disturbances.CBN research on humans is far and few between, but we are finally learning more about CBN from early human studies. In a 2022 study, a placebo-controlled study on humans measuring the efficacy of CBN for sleep, participants were given 20mg CBN for 7 days. The group that took CBN had fewer nighttime awakenings and less overall sleep disturbances, compared to the placebo group, all without experiencing daytime fatigue. This research aligns with anecdotal reports from CBN users who say it helps them experience more restful sleep with fewer nighttime awakenings.
CBN is non-intoxicating. Unlike THC, CBN is not intoxicating, meaning it can help promote deeper sleep and relaxation without causing a "high." This makes it appealing for people who want a non-intoxicating sleep aid that doesn’t cause a high, doesn’t leave them feeling disoriented, and doesn’t leave them feeling groggy the next day.
CBN is most effective when combined with other sleep-supporting cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabinoids — they work better together! That’s why Polite’s Rest Well formulas pair CBN with CBD and other minor cannabinoids to enhance its benefits. These ingredients work synergistically, maximizing their combined impact on sleep. Rest Well Oil Drops also include trace amounts of THC, soothing herbs like kava and peppermint, and calming terpenes (such as Menthone, Limonene, β-Pinene, and β-Caryophyllene). Since CBN is typically most effective with small amounts of THC, this added synergy makes Rest Well Oil Drops a powerful opponent to poor sleep.
CBN has a plethora of benefits beyond deeper sleep. As highlighted in Dr. Dustin Sulak’sHandbook of Cannabis for Clinicians,it is suggested that CBN possesses anticonvulsant, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic effects — much like other cannabinoids. There is alsoemerging evidence that CBN may offer neuroprotective properties, although further research is needed to better understand therapeutic potential.
When counting sheep just isn’t cutting it, Polite’s Rest Well Oil Drops and Gummies are here to help. With CBN as the star of the show — alongside CBD, minor cannabinoids, and other soothing natural ingredients — these formulas are designed to help you unwind, drift into dreamland, and wake up feeling refreshed.
