There are many people who claim that poop before bed This is the hand of a saint – to fall asleep in the arms of Morpheus, and even more so with this devastating heat. The truth is, seeing Balloon which produces those who consume, it would not be strange to think that drug be effective in reconciliation sleep. However, according to a study recently published in Regional anesthesia and pain relief scientists from University of Torontoconsumption of this drug may cause rather the opposite effect.
They came to this conclusion after analyzing the data extracted from United States National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES), a cross-sectional study developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In particular, they focused on information about 21,729 adultsfrom which basic data was collected, such as their gender, age, education level or average working hours. But they were also asked for more specific information about their cannabis use and the length and quality of their sleep. The results contradict previous ideas about marijuana and ease of sleep. But what exactly are they saying?
Step One: Ranking Cannabis Use and Sleep Quality
With regard to sleep, survey participants were classified according to its duration and quality.
Duration was divided into three groups depending on whether they slept less than six hours, six to nine, or more than nine hours. The ideal would be to be in the second group, because not getting enough sleep is just as bad as sleeping too many hours.
Participants were divided into three groups based on whether they slept less than six hours, six to nine hours, or more than nine hours.
In terms of quality, they were asked if they had ease of falling asleepif they needed medical attention to get to sleep, or if they thought they had slept too much in the last two weeks.
It remains only to classify marijuana use. In this case, for the first time, it was established who used cannabis in the last 30 days. There were 3132 people, which is 14.5% of the participants. Then, of all of them, it was determined with what regularity they consumed. If they did it less than 20 times in the last month, they were assigned a category moderate consumption. If they consumed more, they would heavy users marijuana.
Marijuana for better sleep?
After establishing the previous classifications, as well as taking into account other initial data that could have an impact, searches were made for relationships between the established groups.
Cannabis users have been found to have 34% more are more likely to sleep less than six hours than those who did not use marijuana in the past month. But not only that, among drug addicts there was also a likelihood of sleeping more than 9 hours. 56% higher.
Cannabis users have to sleep more or less hours than recommended
In other words, cannabis use interferes with balanced sleep, resulting in more or fewer hours of sleep than necessary. In addition, these people were found to be more likely to Sleep problems or get enough sleep.
Perhaps this ability to sleep more than necessary has led us to the misconception that marijuana can be a good drug. hypnotic. The problem is that it does not promote healthy sleep. At least not based on this study.
Wrong decision against insomnia
The authors of this study admit that their conclusions are only observants and that they cannot ascertain what the reasons are.
However, they consider it important to stop considering marijuana good for falling asleep. In fact, in statements collected science alertLet us recall that, although traditionally it was believed that cannabis could be useful for treat insomniaother later works do not point in the same direction.
For example, a 2020 review of the scientific literature concluded that while some studies show marijuana can help users sleep, many of them contain restrictions such as lack of diagnostic clarity, poorly defined participant groups, or inadequate procedure. Thus, this review argues for the need for new, larger and better designed studies that analyze the relationship between sleep and cannabis use. Now these scientists University of Toronto They posted one. And the conclusions are not what many consumers would like to believe. There may still be more research to be done, but at least we already know that it’s not all that clear if a joint before bed will improve your sleep. First of all, because more sleep does not mean better sleep. We must engrave it on fire.
