I am not always a good sleeper. Seven hours of sleep feels like a luxury, and eigth seems like an actual dream. My weed-loving friends are always telling me that I should try smoking weed before I go to bed if I want to sleep longer. Well, it turns out that they might be right — but they also might be wrong. New research suggests that cannabis may disrupt your sleep schedule.
According to a new study, published Monday in the journal BMJ, cannabis use may have a significant impact on the length of time people sleep, particularly for heavy users. The study analyzed the cannabis use and sleep habits of 21,729 Americans between the ages of 20 and 59. What they found was that heavy cannabis users — people who used 20 days or more a month — were 76% more likely to sleep longer than nine hours a night and 64% more likely to sleep less than 6 hours a night.
