Summer nights are supposed to be dreamy. But let’s be real—when it’s 82° at midnight and your sheets feel like a microwaved tortilla, the only thing you’re dreaming about is air conditioning. Between the heat, the late sunsets, and the general chaos of summer plans, getting solid sleep this time of year can feel like a fever dream in the worst way.
If your usual THC nightcap isn’t cutting it, it might be time to call in backup. Enter: CBN—aka the chill cannabinoid that’s quietly earning its spot on the roster of natural sleep aids. When paired with other cannabinoids like CBG and Delta-9 THC, CBN might just be the summer night MVP you didn’t know you needed.
What Is CBN, and Why Does It Make You Feel Sleepy?
CBN—short for cannabinol—is one of the lesser-known cannabinoids found in cannabis, but it’s been quietly making a name for itself as the go-to compound for chill vibes and bedtime bliss.
Unlike THC, which gets you high, or CBD, which helps balance things out, CBN is most often associated with sedative, calming effects that make it a popular choice for those struggling to wind down. That’s not to say it doesn’t make you feel high at all—it does. Just not to the same degree as THC does.
CBN forms when THC ages and oxidizes, which is why it shows up more in older flower or aged concentrates. But when it’s intentionally added to products like gummies or tinctures, it becomes a powerhouse for promoting relaxation, body ease, and mental quiet—especially when paired with small amounts of THC.
Scientists are still exploring how exactly CBN works, but many users report it helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer without feeling groggy the next day. It’s not a knockout punch—it’s more like a gentle nudge toward dreamland.
Why Summer Sleep Struggles Hit Harder
Summer does a lot of things right—sunshine, frozen drinks, late-night adventures—but when it comes to getting good sleep, it’s kind of a menace.
For starters, longer daylight hours can trick your brain into thinking it’s not bedtime, even when it’s pushing midnight. Then there’s the heat—warm nights mess with your body’s ability to cool down, which is a crucial step in falling (and staying) asleep. Toss in extra travel, social events, and general life chaos, and suddenly your wind-down routine is on life support.
Even if you’re usually a great sleeper, the change in light, temperature, and schedule can throw everything out of whack. That’s why summer is the perfect time to bring in extra support from calming cannabinoids like CBN, especially when paired with THC and CBG. It’s like handing your nervous system a cold drink and a weighted blanket.
Meet the Triple Threat: Passionfruit Gummies with CBN, CBG, and THC
When the summer nights get too loud and your brain won’t shut up, The Hemptender’s Passionfruit Gummies are here to smooth things over. Each piece delivers a dreamy blend of 20mg CBN, 20mg CBG, and 10mg of Delta-9 THC, designed to help you wind down without knocking you out cold.
Here’s why this combo slaps:
- CBN is the mellow MVP, working behind the scenes to calm your body and prep your mind for rest.

- Delta-9 THC rounds it out with that gentle euphoria that helps you finally exhale.
And the passionfruit flavor? Juicy, tropical, and just tart enough to make your taste buds do a lil dance before you melt into the couch. These gummies are vegan, perfectly dosed, and ideal for a low-key night of doing absolutely nothing. Just pop one about 30–60 minutes before bed, get your fan going, and let the gummy do the rest.
Pro Tips for a Sleepy Summer Wind-Down
Your Passionfruit gummy is the star, but the supporting cast matters. If you want to make the most of your summer snooze ritual, try stacking it with a few simple wind-down habits that tell your body, “hey bestie, it’s time to chill.”
Here’s how to set the scene:
- Cool off first. Take a quick shower or bath to help your body drop its core temp—crucial for falling asleep faster.
- Fan on. Lights low. Vibes high. Keep the room cool and dark. Bonus points for blackout curtains and an ice-cold water bottle by the bed.
- Add a sensory cue. Light some incense, dab a little lavender oil, or put on a sleepy playlist. Your brain loves routines.
- Unplug. Thirty minutes of scrolling turns into three hours of chaos. Read a book, stretch, or just lie down and let the gummy hit.
- Hydrate and elevate. Cannabis and hydration are besties. Drink some water, elevate your feet if you’re puffy from heat, and let gravity do its thing.
You don’t need a five-step bedtime ritual every night—but when you’re really struggling to settle in, these small tweaks (plus your gummy) can make a big difference.
Final Thoughts: Let CBN Carry You into Dreamland
Summer sleep doesn’t have to be a sweaty, restless mess. Whether it’s the heat, the hustle, or just a brain that won’t turn off, CBN might be the gentle nudge your nights have been missing—especially when it’s paired with chill-friendly sidekicks like CBG and Delta-9 THC.
The Hemptender’s gummies and other sleep products were made for exactly this kind of chaos. Think of them as your tropical ticket to bedtime balance: a little sweet, a little soothing, and just potent enough to help you surrender to the moment.
