Cigarette smoking associated with sleep difficulty

CR Soldatos, JD Kales, MB Scharf, EO Bixler, and A Kales

A group of 50 smokers experienced greater sleep difficulty than a group of 50 nonsmokers matched by age and sex. The two groups did not differ in personality patterns or drug consumption. Also, sleep patterns significantly improved in a group of eight chronic smokers when they abstained from cigarette smoking. These findings are consistent with reports on the stimulant effects of nicotine.
