Empirical evidence shows that sleep is critical to alertness, cognition, and emotional regulation. We know that sleep deficits can accumulate over time and affect cognitive performance and psychological well-being. Studies also show that sleep disruptions make people more emotionally sensitive and likely to react negatively to stressful situations.
So why are so many Americans still experiencing disrupted or insufficient sleep?
There’s no one answer, though 24/7 industrial culture and perpetual “screen time” might have something to do with it. But while we can only speculate about why people aren’t sleeping, we know that millions of Americans need, and want, better sleep.
Today, we’re looking at the two biggest natural options out there— CBN and melatonin — to see if we can determine which is the better sleep aid.
Traditional sleep medications can cause more problems than they solve, so more people have turned to natural and herbal alternatives to help them sleep. Melatonin has been popular for years, but as our understanding of herbal remedies grows, non-pharmaceutical substitutes like the ones offered by Slumber Sleep Aid are gaining traction and challenging the status quo.
Unlike other sleeping aids, no medication or added chemicals are included. These aids are completely natural and derive from plant-based ingredients that do not include animal products. There are lots of plant-based sleep aids out there, and we have listed some of the most common and popular:
Melatonin is a natural hormone in your body. The pineal gland produces it and helps regulate your circadian rhythms, commonly known as your body clock. People with healthy sleep patterns naturally produce melatonin in the evenings to help them sleep. For those with irregular sleep patterns, taking melatonin supplements a few hours before bed can “trick” their body into feeling drowsy and thinking it’s time to sleep.
An abbreviation for cannabinol, CBN is a non-toxic cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. As THC (the cannabinoid that gets you “high”) breaks down over time, it naturally converts into CBN, a non-psychoactive molecule with therapeutic and sleep-inducing effects. Because CBN is a byproduct of decomposed THC, it’s available in smaller quantities and is more time-consuming to extract, making CBN the rarest and most expensive of the cannabinoid cousins.
Does CBN help with sleep? Preliminary research and anecdotal evidence both say yes. But the real question is how.
While melatonin tricks your body into thinking it’s bedtime, CBN addresses the underlying issues that prevent sleep, such as inflammation, anxiety, and pain. By refocusing the lens on the symptoms, rather than the result, of sleep irregularities, CBN shows tremendous promise in helping Americans sleep better every night.
