The Entourage Δ9 x Sleep Gummy is built around cannabinol (CBN) — the cannabinoid most strongly associated with sleep support in recent research. Each gummy combines Δ9 THC, CBD, and a meaningful CBN dose in a single chew, designed for the second half of the evening when you want to stop scrolling and start resting. PhD-formulated, made in Utah from American-grown hemp, lab tested by UDAF and APRC.
How sleep gummies work
CBN is a minor cannabinoid that forms naturally as THC ages. For years it was dismissed as a degradation byproduct; more recent research suggests it has distinct effects on sleep.
A 2024 clinical trial by Kolobaric and colleagues compared CBN alone, CBN combined with CBD, and placebo for adults with sleep disturbance. Both CBN groups showed improvements in subjective sleep quality versus placebo, with the CBN + CBD combination producing the most consistent reductions in nighttime awakenings — which is exactly the formulation in our Sleep gummy.
Combine that CBN base with a microdose of Δ9 THC (which has its own well-documented sedative effect at low doses) and the full-spectrum hemp matrix that drives the entourage effect, and you get a sleep gummy that works through three complementary mechanisms instead of one. That's why we don't rely on melatonin — melatonin moves the clock, but the science on cannabinoid sleep aids is increasingly about staying asleep.
For real-world context, a 2019 case series in The Permanente Journal (Shannon et al.) followed adults using hemp-derived cannabinoids and reported improvements in sleep scores within the first month for the majority of participants.
Choosing your potency
| 5mg variant (Utah-legal) | 10mg variant (standard) | |
|---|---|---|
| Δ9 THC per gummy | 5mg | 10mg |
| CBD per gummy | 40mg | 100mg |
| CBN per gummy | 20mg | 20mg |
| Flavor | Cherry Lemon | Blackberry |
| Pack sizes | 1ct, 10ct, 30ct | 10ct, 25ct |
| Ships to Utah? | Yes | No |
Both variants pack a full 20mg of CBN per gummy — the higher end of what's been studied for sleep. The 10mg variant adds more THC (and proportionally more CBD) for a deeper, more sedative profile; the 5mg Utah variant keeps the CBN dose meaningful at the lower THC cap.
Most "sleep gummies" on the market dose CBN at 3–5mg per gummy. We dose 20mg in both — because the Kolobaric 2024 trial that showed CBN's strongest sleep-quality effects used clinically meaningful doses, not trace amounts.
How to use your Sleep gummy
Take 45–90 minutes before you want to be asleep. Edibles onset slowly; if you take it as you're getting into bed, you'll be staring at the ceiling when it kicks in.
| Goal | Suggested dose | When |
|---|---|---|
| First time | ½ gummy of 5mg variant | 90 min before bed |
| Daily nightly use | 1 gummy of 5mg variant | 45–60 min before bed |
| Travel / disrupted sleep | 1 gummy of 10mg variant | 60 min before bed |
| Stacking with daytime Δ9 | ½ Sleep gummy after dinner | 90 min before bed |
Take with a small amount of fat for more consistent onset. See our full dosing guide for stacking with our base Δ9 gummy.
If you wake at 3am consistently, that's often the moment to add CBN — it has a longer half-life than melatonin and is associated with reduced mid-night awakenings in the Kolobaric study.

Both variants: Plant-based. Gluten-free. Non-GMO. No melatonin. No gelatin. CO2-extracted hemp oil.
Every batch is lab tested by UDAF and APRC (Lehi, UT). Batch numbers on every jar — match to the certificate of analysis.
Why Gold Naturals sleep gummies
- CBN-forward formulation. Most sleep gummies use melatonin. We use cannabinoids backed by 2024 clinical research.
- PhD-formulated. Ratios are designed for sleep architecture, not marketing.
- Made in Utah. Manufactured under Utah's Hemp Manufacturer Program.
- No melatonin, no diphenhydramine. No groggy mornings.
- UDAF + APRC tested. Every batch.
Is the Δ9 in this product legal in my state?
Hemp-derived Δ9 is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill at ≤0.3% THC by dry weight. Both variants meet that threshold; state restrictions vary. See Utah, Texas, California, or the full state map. The 5mg variant is the right choice for Utah customers.
Looking for something gentler?
If 5mg of Δ9 feels like too much, try our Sleep Microdose Gummy — 2mg Δ9 + 10mg CBN + 67mg CBD per gummy. Sub-perceptual THC (no "feel"), full CBN-driven sleep effect. Same CBN sleep mechanism, gentler body experience. It's the third tier in our Sleep line alongside this 5mg variant and the 10mg standard.
Pair it with
- Base Δ9 gummy — same Δ9 base for daytime, without the CBN
- Muscle + Joint gummy — for the post-workout sore-but-can't-sleep nights
- Sleep Microdose Gummy — gentler 2mg Δ9 tier of the Sleep line
- Variety Pack — try all three at 5mg before committing to a jar
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a melatonin gummy? Melatonin shifts your circadian clock and helps you fall asleep. CBN doesn't move the clock — it's associated with staying asleep, particularly reducing the 2-4am wake-up. We use CBN + Δ9 because the combination addresses both onset and maintenance, without the groggy hangover melatonin can cause.
Will I be drowsy in the morning? Most users report waking refreshed rather than groggy — this is one of the main differences vs melatonin or diphenhydramine (Benadryl/Z-Quil). Effects of one gummy generally subside within 6–8 hours.
Can I take a Sleep gummy every night? Many customers do. There's no evidence of physical dependency on CBN or low-dose Δ9, but tolerance can build with consistent daily use. A 2-day break every 1–2 weeks keeps effects consistent.
How much CBN is in a Gold Naturals Sleep gummy? Both variants contain a full 20mg of CBN per gummy — the higher end of what's been studied for sleep. Most "sleep gummies" on the market dose CBN at 3–5mg per gummy; we dose 20mg in both potency variants because the 2024 Kolobaric trial showed CBN's strongest sleep-quality effects at clinically meaningful doses, not trace amounts.
Will Sleep gummies show up on a drug test? Yes. The Δ9 THC is detectable on standard drug screens. CBN can also test positive on some screens. Do not use if you're employment-tested.
Can I take Δ9 Sleep with melatonin or other sleep aids? We don't recommend stacking with prescription sleep meds without checking with your doctor. Most customers find one gummy alone is enough; adding more is not better.
How does the Kolobaric 2024 study apply to your product? Kolobaric et al. found that CBN + CBD outperformed CBN alone for sleep disturbance. Both our variants use a CBN + CBD combination, with the 5mg Utah variant deliberately favoring more CBN to compensate for the lower THC.
