Smoking Ruins Sleep Patterns

If you are a smoker and you have a hard time wondering why you feel weird in the mornings, chances are you are in that stage where smoking can really have a part on how you can sleep better. We are all aware that smoking does indeed make our health deteriorate and with this new study made by the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, it all the more proves that smoking has a bearing on why you cannot sleep soundly.
Here’s another good reason to put away those cigarettes – a new study shows that smoking can lead to unhealthy sleep patterns, making you feel groggier the next day. Scientists have long speculated that smokers have poorer sleep quality than nonsmokers because of conditions associated with the habit, such as sleep apnea and lung disease. Now, research from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine led by Dr. Naresh M. Punjabi, shows that smoking might be the culprit for decreased sleep quality.
