Home » CBN vs Melatonin: Which Is Better for Sleep?
CBN (cannabinol) is a minor cannabinoid that comes from aged THC. While it does not produce strong psychoactive effects like THC, it can still pose a risk for drug tests.
CBN is a minor cannabinoid derived from THC as it ages. Unlike THC, it has little to no psychoactive effects but is believed to have sedative properties. Research suggests that CBN interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates sleep, mood, and relaxation. By binding to CB1 receptors in the brain, CBN may help induce a sense of calm, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness. It regulates the body’s sleep-wake cycle, signaling when it’s time to sleep. Supplemental melatonin is commonly used to help with jet lag, shift work sleep disorders, and insomnia. Unlike CBN, which interacts with cannabinoid receptors, melatonin directly influences circadian rhythms, helping to reset the body’s internal clock.
