Taking CBN for Sleep
A study surveyed individuals with sleeplessness who were taking a water-soluble product of cannabinol (CBN), which significantly decreased the incidence and severity of sleeplessness (Kaufmann R, 2021)
In a controlled test of 103 adults, patients recorded that sleep scores improved within the first month of taking CBD in 66.7% of patients (Shannon S, 2019)
In a survey of 173 participants, cannabis users reported better sleep quality scores than non-users. This result was consistent throughout subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep disturbances. (Cebrian J, 2021)
A study exploring the effects of cannabinoids on sleep has surfaced clear evidence of CBN’s effectiveness on increasing moments of deep sleep and reducing interrupted sleep by 50% (Kaul M, 2021)
A review published in the journal Cannabis Therapeutics in 2001 discussed the potential health benefits of cannabis and cannabis extracts, including the sedative effects of CBN. The authors of the review noted that CBN was effective as a sleep aid. (McPartland JM, 2001)
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology in 1981 found that CBD and CBN were effective in reducing the frequency of epileptic seizures in a group of participants, and that CBD and CBN had hypnotic effects. The authors of the study did not specifically mention the effects of CBN on sleep, but also noted that both CBD and CBN had sedative effects. (Carlini EA, 1981
Overall, these studies confirms that CBN makes a great prospect for a sleep aid agent.
