It seems that scientists have good reason to doubt the hypnotic properties of cannabis. According to the latest scientific data, marijuana, on the contrary, can disrupt sleep, especially among regular users.
Research published in the journal BMJ, found that adults who used weed more than twenty days in the past month were 64% more likely to sleep less than six hours a night and 76% more likely to sleep more than nine hours.
However, marijuana use on fewer than 20 days over the past month did not cause sleep problems, but people were 47% more likely to sleep nine or more hours a night.
What is the problem if a person sleeps more or less than normal
The American Center for Disease Control and Prevention considers 7-8 hours a day the optimal sleep duration for adults. And large population studies show that both short and excessive sleep are associated with an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, as well as the progression of atherosclerosis, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases.
B The study involved more than 20 thousand adults aged 20 to 59 years. Data were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States.
