It doesn’t make sense to directly compare CBN and melatonin, but it’s true that CBN may have benefits that melatonin lacks while also making up for some of melatonin’s detriments. Melatonin, for instance, is a natural hormone, and nobody knows how introducing this hormone might disrupt melatonin already produced by the brain. The brain doesn’t produce CBN, though, eliminating this particular potential for conflict.
