Smokers Don’t Sleep As Well As Non Smokers…Medical News Today reported that a new study by researchers in the US has found that cigarette smokers don’t sleep as well as non smokers: they are four times more likely to report feeling unrested after a night’s sleep than non smokers.

The study is published in the February printed issue of the journal Chest and is the work of Dr Naresh M Punjabi, who is Associate Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology based at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, and colleagues.

The researchers also found that smokers spent more time in light sleep and less time in deep sleep compared to non smokers. The biggest differences occurred in the early stages of sleep, they said. Speculating on their findings, the researchers suggested nicotine withdrawal as the most likely cause.  view source

Yet another reason to quit smoking. Not only will you live to sleep for years, but you will sleep better too.
