The Magic of Dreams: Psilocybin Meets Skullcap and CBN with somnium

Somnium: A Nighttime Microdose Formulation

Have you ever wanted to harness the supportive benefits of magic mushroom microdosing but found yourself drifting off to sleep or feeling groggy? Or perhaps you love the gentle “afterglow” that mushrooms can bring to your day but would rather sleep through most of the acute effects? If you answered “yes” to either of these, our Somnium formulation might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Somnium is carefully crafted to support a deeply restful experience at night while still allowing you to enjoy a mild, uplifting sense of wellbeing the next day. By combining magic mushrooms with skullcap and CBN, this unique microdose blend aims to offer the relaxing qualities of plant-based remedies and a subtle psilocybin afterglow—without the strong psychoactive peak.

Just as lion’s mane and psilocybin join forces in our Vitality formula, skullcap and CBN team up with psilocybin in Somnium for a new kind of dreaming; bridging the conscious and unconscious worlds. Here’s how they work together:

1. Psilocybin lays the groundwork, quietly nurturing neural pathways and encouraging emotional clarity—without the pronounced peak that might interrupt your rest.

2. Skullcap steps in as the gentle companion, soothing mental chatter and helping your mind transition into rest mode.

3. CBN completes the trifecta, lending a mild sedative quality that steadies you into deeper, uninterrupted sleep.

The result? A balanced nighttime microdose designed to help you sink into slumber while still reaping psilocybin’s morning-after brightness.

Key Ingredients in Somnium: Skullcap & CBN

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora): A Herbal Ally for Deep Relaxation

Skullcap, a delicate yet powerful herb, native to Turtle Island in North America, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to promote relaxation, ease stress, and support the nervous system. It is revered for its ability to gently calm the mind, making it a natural fit for those seeking a smoother transition into restful sleep.

• Nervous System Support – Skullcap acts as a mild nervine, meaning it soothes and strengthens the nervous system. It may help relieve restlessness, tension, and the overactive mental chatter that can interfere with sleep.

• Mood Balancing Properties – With its mild anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects, skullcap may encourage emotional equilibrium, making it an excellent companion for microdosing at night.

• Traditionally Used for Sleep –  Skullcap has long been valued by herbalists for promoting deep, uninterrupted rest without the grogginess of pharmaceutical sedatives. Beyond aiding relaxation, it is known to enhance dream vividness and recall, potentially helping individuals navigate and process recurring nightmares.

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora)

By including skullcap in the Somnium formula, we aim to provide a plant-based foundation for relaxation, helping you ease into sleep while allowing the microdose to work subtly in the background.

CBN (Cannabinol): The Sleep-Supporting Cannabinoid

CBN (Cannabinol) is an emerging player in the world of cannabinoids, gaining recognition for its potential sedative effects. While it’s less well-known than THC or CBD, its reputation as a sleep aid has been growing, making it a perfect fit for a nighttime-focused microdosing blend. We source a nearly pure 99.8% CBN isolate with a trace level of 0.0010% THCA & THCV (Lab Results).

• Mild Sedative Properties – Studies suggest that CBN may have a more pronounced sedative effect than CBD, helping to promote deeper, more restful sleep.

• Synergistic Relaxation – When combined with skullcap and psilocybin, CBN contributes to a layered sense of calm, ensuring that the mind and body can fully unwind.

• Gentle and Non-Intoxicating – Unlike THC, CBN does not produce a strong psychoactive effect, making it ideal for those who want to relax without feeling impaired.

Cannabinol (CBN) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that is sedating.

Potential Benefits of Somnium

• Deep, Restful Sleep By combining the calming properties of skullcap with the gentle sedative effects of CBN, Somnium supports deep, restorative sleep. Many users report experiencing more vivid dreams, while others note a reduction or resolution of recurring nightmares, allowing for a more peaceful and rejuvenating rest.

• Gentle Microdosing Experience Sleeping through most of psilocybin’s initial effects minimizes any risk of feeling too energized or overstimulated at night.

• Morning Clarity Instead of waking to lingering sedation, many users report a subtle, positive lift the next day—a feeling of being both rested and mentally clear.

• Stress Relief The combined formulation is designed to dial down tension and overthinking, ideal for those whose restless minds keep them awake.

Harm Reduction and Contraindications for Somnium

Just like with Vitality, it’s crucial to stay informed about safety considerations when integrating Somnium into your routine. Although the formula is crafted to be gentle, you should still be aware of potential contraindications and interactions.

Who Should Avoid or Use Caution?

1. Individuals with Severe Mental Health Conditions Microdosing psilocybin may not be suitable for people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or psychosis, as these conditions can be sensitive to even small amounts of psychedelics. Consult a healthcare professional first.

2. Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals The safety of psilocybin, skullcap, and CBN during pregnancy or breastfeeding isn’t well-established. Avoid using Somnium during these stages unless advised otherwise by a qualified healthcare provider.

3. Medication and Herbal Interactions

   • Sedatives or Sleep Aids: Combining Somnium with prescription sleep aids or other sedatives, including other herbs with sedative effects, could overly amplify drowsiness or cause harm. 

   • SSRIs or Antidepressants: Like other psilocybin-based products, microdose effects can be altered or diminished by certain antidepressants.

   • Blood Pressure or Heart Medications: While not as pronounced as niacin’s flushing effect in Vitality, always consult a doctor if you have cardiovascular concerns or take related medications.

4. Legal and Regulatory Considerations The legality of psilocybin and cannabinoids varies by region. Always be sure you’re adhering to local laws and sourcing your products ethically and responsibly.

General Safety Tips

• Start Low and Go Slow Begin with the smallest recommended microdose to gauge your body’s response.

• Monitor Morning Grogginess While designed to avoid a “hangover” effect, individual chemistry differs. If you feel drowsy in the morning, adjust timing or dosage in consultation with a healthcare professional.

• Avoid Mixing with Alcohol or Other Substances Combining different sedatives can amplify unwanted side effects, like dizziness or prolonged drowsiness.

• Stay Hydrated Proper hydration supports overall well-being and can help your body process these supplements more efficiently.

Getting the Most Out of Somnium

1. Set an Intention Even at microdoses, psilocybin can enhance introspection. Reflect on why you’re taking Somnium—better sleep, stress reduction, emotional clarity—and keep that focus in mind.

2. Craft a Nighttime Ritual Enhance the formula’s effects by embracing a calming evening routine. Dimming lights, gentle stretching, or a brief meditation session can prime your mind and body for sleep.

3. Track Your Experience Jot down notes on your sleep quality, any notable dreams, mood upon waking, and any shifts in stress levels. Over time, these observations help you fine-tune your dosing schedule.

4. Consult Professionals If you’re uncertain about how psilocybin, skullcap, or CBN might interact with your health profile, a talk with a medical professional is invaluable.
