Papa & Barkley, a leading cannabis and wellness company in California, has introduced its novel Sleep Releaf Collection, a line of chemical-free, cannabis-infused speed aids that offer an efficient, natural solution for better sleep. The brands take a holistic approach to sleep, infusing its Sleep Releaf Products with a powerful formula of CBD for relaxation, THC for comfort, and CBN for sedative effects to aid consumers in falling asleep, staying asleep, and wake up refreshed.
“Up to 70 million American adults currently struggle with sleep disorders. As a wellness brand, we felt a responsibility to find a better sleep solution, so we created an effective yet natural product. Sleep Releaf really delivers on our mission to unlock the power of cannabis to improve lives. Sleep is a core pillar of good health, and when we’re able to sleep better, we improve our overall wellness. We’re anticipating this to be our biggest launch ever with a substantial marketing plan behind it to fuel rapid acceleration,” said Evelyn Wang, CEO of Papa & Barkley.
“At Papa & Barkley, we are firm believers in true plant medicine,” stated Guy Rocourt, President and Chief Product Officer at Papa & Barkley. “CBN is a minor cannabinoid known for its sedative effects and found in aged cannabis or cannabis exposed to heat and light; during the aging process, THC converts into CBN. Most brands use chemical processes to extract CBN, but at Papa & Barkley, we are committed to clean, solventless infusion processes. We are pioneering an innovative, completely chemical-free way to convert THC-rich rosin into CBN-rich rosin using heat. This ensures our Sleep Releaf products are infused with the plant’s full nutrient profile to maximize sleep benefits.”
Papa & Barkley’s Sleep Releaf Collection comprises four products; Capsules, Tincture, Blackberry Elderberry Gummies, and Pomegranate Dark Chocolate. Recognizing the importance of effective sleep aids that do not cause harmful side effects, the company conducted the first California-based at-home product test on CBN-infused sleep products. After two weeks of using the formula, over 90 participants reported an 80% improvement in sleep quality. In this regard, they fell asleep faster, stayed asleep longer, and woke up feeling refreshed.
Mitch Earleywine, Ph.D., a professor at SUNY Albany and member of the Papa & Barkley Scientific Advisory Board, explained that “Papa & Barkley places a tremendous value in Real World Evidence, so the team put the new Sleep Releaf formula to the test. I am extremely proud to have helped Papa & Barkley become the first brand in California to test the sleep benefits of a CBN-infused product and am even more impressed with the results.”
