Anyone tried CBD/CBN Tincture for insomnia?
Has anyone had success with CBD/CBN Tincture for insomnia? If so, what dose works for you and how late can it be taken to avoid daytime drowsiness? I've had severe insomnia for over a year and wake often during the night, usually unable to go back to sleep after 5:00am. I bought some tincture that has 10mg each of CBD and CBN from hemp, but I'm afraid to try it, wondering now if it's safe. I've tried sleep restriction therapy and had a sleep study done. The only med my doctor will prescribe is Trazodone, which doesn't always work (100-150mg/night). She also suggested Melatonin. I'm only taking 2mg but since it gives me very vivid dreams I think it interferes with deep sleep.

find survivor corps on facebook to learn all there is to know from what covid has done for long haulers. i still use cbd/cbg/cbn in middle of nite, but also use my 3rx to get to sleep and have added 2mg melatonin which is also an anti-inflammatory. the only good thing about being 78 and retired is i can take a few naps a day which work for me when i've not had a decent night's sleep. all the best.
I have the same sleep issues as you, even since I had Covid a couple years ago.
How much of the tincture did you take at night, and how soon before going to bed do you take it? Is it recommended to take it with a snack (that's what I've heard). Thanks.
I take half a dropper which is .50 ml. The dropper on my product from SunMed is marked. I take it a little before bedtime. I do not take with a snack.
What brand of gummies to you take? I have a couple I've used but they don't help me sleep through the night. Also, what do you mean by "3 rx"? Thanks.
Could you share what brand of CBD gummies you take for sleep? I also got insomnia after Covid and haven't had a good nights sleep for a couple years. I've tried some sleep gummies with CBN/THC but they don't help me sleep through the night. Thanks.
I take progesterone, Temazepam and 1/2 klonipin and 30 minutes later 2mg melatonin and middle of night I’ll take my fav healing Resources brand of cbd/cbg/cbn which contain no thc and this brand can be bought online and if my anxiety is too high in afternoon I’ll take a healing Resources cbd gummy. This is what works for me.
I’ve tried many tinctures and still take them butn they don’t really help me sleep.
So my spouse got Covid but no long haul.
We were using Upstate Elevator Supply Co. Deep Calm which is 30mg Organic CBD + 10mg Organic CBG + 10mg CBN about 30 minutes before bed. Occasionally added 1 or 2 Life Extension Melatonin 6 Hour Timed Release 300 mcg vegetarian tablets when feeling super stressed; two tablets is still less than 1mg of Melatonin & helps with staying asleep. Taking one 300mcg about an hour or so before falling asleep plus another when feeling super sleepy spaces out the 6 hours of extended release
We can't order Deep Calm anymore since they stopped shipping to CA.
I am looking at Head & Heal CBG & CBN tincture oils because they get USDA Organic certification like Upstate Elevator Supply Co.
The quality and efficacy of CBD products varies wildly. I suggest you research the company you have bought tincture from. I find SunMed which grows its own hemp in Florida to be reliable and effective. Don’t give up on Mother Nature.
I live in the Emerald Trangle which is where most of the products come from and I also grow my own. I think I’ve taken zolpidem for so many years that my brain is resistant to many products,
