Chronic cannabis use and sleep architecture: a cross-sectional analysis of polysomnography outcomes in a sleep-clinic cohort
Among sleep-clinic patients, long-term daily cannabis use was associated with greater nocturnal wakefulness. Given that most participants had moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, findings should be interpreted with caution. Studies detailing dose, timing, and cannabinoid composition are needed to clarify causality and clinical relevance.
