Hello, friends. Sleep is so important for our busy days, and new research is always helping us learn more about how our daily habits affect our rest. Let us look at what one new study found.
What's new
A new study links cannabis use to loud snoring and breathing pauses during sleep. The links are stronger among frequent users. Please keep in mind that this one study does not prove cause and effect. The study authors suggest that smoke irritation and muscle relaxation in the throat may play a role in these nighttime breathing problems.
What it means for you
Good rest helps us feel ready for family life and daily tasks. If you or someone in your home notices loud snoring or pauses in breathing at night, it is helpful to pay attention to your sleep health.
One small thing to try
Keep a simple sleep diary for one week to note how you feel when you wake up each morning.
