Sleep Week 2024

Written By Courtney Fink - August 26 2024

It's Sleep Week! August 26th - September 1st, 2024

Monday - Come back every day this week for interesting facts, breakdowns and tips all related to sleep! 💤 We’re starting with WHY sleep is so important 👉Did you know that some studies have shown that sleep deprivation leaves people vulnerable to attention lapses, reduced cognition, delayed reactions, and mood shifts? It has also been linked with a higher risk for certain diseases and medical conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, poor mental health, and more. For these reasons, sleep is obviously very important. The average adult aged 18 to 64 requires 7-9 hours per night. Tomorrow we’re going to breakdown some of the different ingredients we add to our sleep bars and why. (Source: https://buff.ly/2IuErDN)

Tuesday - At Blue Planet we have 3 different bars designed to assist with sleep. Why is that? Let us explain…What are the differences? First, we will separate CBD from Delta 8 THC. CBD is non-intoxicating whereas Delta 8 IS intoxicating. So, if you do not wish to feel intoxicated or are not used to the intoxicating effects of Delta 8, CBD is the proper choice. If an intoxicating effect is preferred, Delta 8 is your best choice.

The other major differences are between Melatonin and CBN.

Melatonin is a hormone primarily released by the pineal gland at night, and has long been associated with control of the sleep-wake cycle. As a dietary supplement, it is often used for the short-term treatment of insomnia, such as from jet lag or shift work, and is typically taken orally. The downside is some people feel the “hangover” effect the next day and it takes longer to wake up and feel refreshed. However, most people do not have a problem with melatonin.

CBN, cannabinol, is a non-intoxicating minor cannabinoid that’s naturally found in the hemp plant. CBN is a compound used widely across the world with therapeutic benefits for sleep and tranquility. The sleep benefits seem to be beneficial to many and without the “hangover” effect often associated with melatonin.

Wednesday - Yesterday we broke down melatonin and CBN; today we want to use that information to help you find the right bar for you.

CBD Nighttime Bar - CBD with Melatonin - 250mg CBD isolate with 30mg melatonin. This bar is perfect for those that find success with melatonin and do not want an intoxicating effect.

CBD Nighttime Synergy Bar - CBD with CBN and Valerian Root - This bar is great for regular use, for those who don’t want an intoxicating effect, and for those who find melatonin does not seem to work.

Delta 8 THC Sleepy Time Bar - Delta 8 with CBN and Valerian Root - This bar is perfect for those who would enjoy the intoxicating effect of Delta 8. Available in milk and dark chocolate.

Delta 8 THC Sleep Square - Delta 8 with CBN - These squares are perfect for if you're looking to try Sleepy Time, but don't want to commit to a full bar. They are also perfect for travel.

Thursday - We’ve talked a lot about sleep this week, but what about some tips for a better night's sleep? Let’s get into it. There are some research-backed tips to potentially help you get a better nights sleep:

-Establish a realistic bedtime and stick to it every night, even on the weekends.

-Maintain comfortable temperature settings and low light levels in your bedroom.

-Consider a “screen ban” on televisions, computers and tablets, cell phones, and other electronic devices in your bedroom.

-Exercise during the day; this can help you wind down in the evening and prepare for sleep.

There are many more, but these are great tips to start with! A piece of sleep chocolate about 30 minutes before you plan to sleep is a great way to get your nighttime routine started.

These convenient, bite-sized squares are perfect for so many reasons. They’re easily portable and great for on the go. Keep one close by (not in heat), store them in a bedside drawer or even use them as a small gift!

25mg Delta 9 THC Square - The Planet’s Best Chocolate infused with Delta 9 THC. Each creamy, milk chocolate square contains 25mg of hemp-derived THC. This high strength square has no cannabis taste at all. Start with ¼ piece and allow 45-90 minutes to take effect. Do not eat more until you find out how this works for you. *This product may be intoxicating.

20mg Delta 9 THC + 40mg Delta 8 THC Square - This piece of creamy, milk chocolate is for the serious edible folks. Packed with 60 mg of total THC, this can either put you on the couch, or be your favorite high strength edible that does it’s job, and tastes awesome as always. We urge caution as this chocolate is quite strong. Start with ¼ piece and allow 45-90 minutes to feel the effects. Only eat another piece once you know how your body reacts to this edible. *This product may be intoxicating.

High levels of antioxidants in the dark chocolate and 50mg of the highest quality US grown CBD, make this chocolate a delicious choice. Enjoy a whole square. *No intoxication

50mg Delta 8 THC + 20mg CBN - Sleep Square - It’s estimated that 50-70 million adults in the US have problems sleeping. At Blue Planet Chocolate, we take this very seriously. This is our most powerful piece that we’ve designed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. This edible can be intoxicating. Delta 8 THC is the intoxicating part. CBN is thought to be the best cannabinoid to promote sleep. Start with ¼ of a square and allow 45-90 minutes to take effect. Adjust the amount the next time if needed. *This product may be intoxicating.

Along with all of our squares and bars, it’s always smart to start “low and slow”. Overconsumption is possible and it is an uncomfortable feeling. If this does happen; find a cozy spot to sit, sip cold water, watch a comforting show/movie, and relax. CBD can also counteract THC to an extent, it’s smart to keep a square nearby just in case!
