If you’re curious about the wide variety of CBD (cannabidiol) products on display in retail stores and online marketplaces, you’re not alone. A majority of U.S. adults (60%) have tried at least one CBD product, according to a Forbes Health survey of 2,000 U.S. adults. The same percentage said they believe that CBD may offer some medicinal benefits.[1]
So, what makes CBD so popular with those looking for a natural supplement that may potentially benefit their physical and mental health?
For starters, many people take CBD in the form of oils, tinctures, gummies or drinks to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve their focus and get better sleep, according to the Forbes Health survey.[1] Research on the efficacy of CBD for these conditions is limited, however. One study published in the journal Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research found that nearly 62% of CBD users take CBD to reduce pain, anxiety and depression. Many people also take CBD for better sleep, according to the same study.[2]
Curious about whether CBD can help you fall asleep and achieve better sleep quality but overwhelmed by the vast selection of products available?

Read on to learn more about Canna River CBD Sleep Tinctures, how they work, ingredients and why many consumers trust Canna River CBD products.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural compound derived primarily from hemp, a part of the cannabis sativa plant. Both CBD and marijuana (THC) come from the cannabis plant. But CBD doesn’t have any of THC’s intoxicating, psychoactive effects. Scientific evidence on the beneficial effects of CBD is limited. However, a study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research suggests that CBD may have a beneficial effect on pain, anxiety, depression and overall sense of well-being for participants with moderate to severe symptoms[4].
It’s important to note that even though Canna River’s CBD tinctures don’t create the “high” associated with THC, broad-spectrum tinctures contain undetectable levels of THC and are unlikely to test positive on a drug test. On the other hand, full-spectrum tinctures contain less than 0.3% of THC and may potentially trigger a positive drug test result.
THC content of all Canna River CBD tinctures is viewable by clicking on the product and then “view report” on the website’s product documentation page.
CBD interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), the network that runs throughout your body and plays a major role in your body’s central nervous system. The ECS sends chemical signals to the brain and other vital organs, binding with the endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, potentially creating a calming effect.
Some CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC, but the amount isn’t enough to create any psychoactive effects. Below are the three categories of CBD and what each contains.
- Full spectrum CBD is a hemp extract that contains compounds from the hemp plant such as terpenes, flavonoids, essential oils and other cannabinoids and small amounts (less than 0.3%) of THC. Together, the combined compounds create what’s called an “entourage effect” that may potentially increase CBD benefits.
- Broad spectrum CBD is also a hemp extract containing the same hemp plant compounds but no detectable amount THC. Broad spectrum CBD products may still contain trace amounts of THC, making them “nearly free” of THC.
- CBD isolate (not offered by Canna River) is pure CBD that contains no other hemp plant compounds and is totally free of THC.
If you’d like to fall asleep faster and get a better night’s sleep, CBD oil tinctures—specifically products formulated to aid sleep—may help you achieve better sleep quality.
CBD Side Effects
CBD has been shown to have no abuse potential and no risk for hospitalization even at high doses. High dosage may lead to sleepiness and to potential liver issues over time, although research hasn’t yet conclusively confirmed this connection. Users may also experience potential digestive effects, but those typically occur because of other ingredients in CBD products.[5]
CBD Tinctures vs. CBD Oils
Canna River offers two CBD oil sleep tinctures specially formulated as potential sleep aids. The terms “CBD oil” and “CBD tincture” are often used interchangeably, and each is taken orally, best absorbed under the tongue. However, these two forms of CBD have important differences.
CBD oil is a blend of CBD extract with a chemically inactive carrier oil, such as a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) like coconut or hemp seed oil. A CBD tincture often contains an alcohol-based hemp extract as a solvent. However, some tinctures, such as those produced by Canna River, contain an MCT instead of alcohol.
Since CBD tinctures are absorbed under the tongue, the tinctures bypass the digestive system. For this reason, tinctures may potentially take effect more quickly than CBD oils, which process through the digestive system.
CBD oil generally also has a lower bioavailability than a tincture, so a dose of CBD oil has a smaller portion of the active ingredient (CBD) entering the body’s systemic circulation system that carries the functional blood supply with oxygen and nutrients to tissues and cells.
How Do Canna River Sleep Tinctures Work?
In addition to CBD, Canna River Sleep Tincture and Ultra Sleep Tincture also contain CBN (cannabinol). CBN is a minor cannabinoid also derived from the cannabis sativa plant. Like CBD, CBN doesn’t cause any intoxicating, psychoactive effects. However, some studies indicate that CBN can potentially create a sedative effect to aid sleep.
Canna River CBD oil sleep tinctures are taken orally under the tongue, using a dropper that’s clearly marked with dose amounts. Each Canna River CBD product is sourced from non-GMO hemp grown in the U.S. tested by a third-party laboratory to ensure quality, safety and purity from contaminants, with each product’s certificate of analysis (COA) available on the Canna River website for your review.

What Dose of CBD Sleep Tinctures Should I Take?
If you’re new to taking CBD, consult your doctor about dosage and potential medication interactions before taking any CBD product. “Our tinctures also include a measurement-marked dropper, so if a consumer wants to only take a quarter or half dose, it’s easy and convenient to measure it out every time,” says Wes Boatman, owner of Canna River. “The recommended dose is 1 milliliter for maximum effectiveness. But to be safe, we always recommend users start small and work their way up to what works best for their body.”
It’s common after taking a CBD tincture to begin feeling effects within 45 to 90 minutes after ingestion, depending on the user’s metabolism and whether the tincture was taken with food. Taking CBD with food, especially fatty foods or drinks, may cause the body to absorb cannabidiol and produce results faster than taking CBD without food.
What Canna River Customers Say
Canna River CBD oil sleep tincture customers on the Canna River website give the products a five (out of five) star review rating, with many saying they fall asleep faster, sleep through the night and wake up refreshed, without the grogginess or “hangover” associated with many prescription sleep aids.

“Works great! Knocks me out. I sleep all night now after years of insomnia,” wrote another reviewer. From another reviewer: “I feel more comfortable in bed, so I feel relaxed when going to sleep, and my overall sleep quality seems better. I feel more rested during the day.”
