Roughly 60 million Americans are affected by Insomnia each year and the condition appears to be more common in women and people over the age of 65. Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is characterized by difficulty falling and/or
staying asleep. Symptoms of Insomnia include daytime sleepiness, lack of concentration, slowness in activity, depression, headache, and irritability.

Treatment for insomnia includes cognitive behavioral therapy, light therapy, and prescribed medications. Medications used to treat insomnia include Zolpidem, Temazepam, Lorazepam, Eszopiclone, Trazodone, Diphenhydramine, Doxylamine, Mirtazapine and Amitriptyline. Each prescribed medication contains negative side
effects that include dizziness, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, headache, muscle pain, amnesia, numbness, blurred vision, depression, irritability, confusion, aggression, hallucinations, skin rash, flu symptoms, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, weight gain and breast swelling. CBN, also known as Cannabinol, is a cannabinoid that have been seen and identified from the cannabis plant.

Although it acts a lot like CBD, its origin is different, as it is the product of oxidization. Manufacturers expose THC to heat and light, which breaks it down, leaving behind CBN. Because of this, no strains of cannabis contain high levels of CBN themselves. CBN comes from the breakdown of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC, while it can be mildly psychoactive itself, it does not produce a high like THC at all. CBN is created when THC-A oxidizes. CBN can be used
effectively as a sleep aid or sedative. Some products at AHS that we carry with CBN to help with Insomnia include our Sleep Well CBD/CBN Gummies. Another product we carry that can help with Insomnia are our Coastal Clouds CBD: CBN Sleep Capsules.
