Abstract: Nicotine usage is often thought to be associated with poor sleep. Many studies have shown an association between the two and it is common practice for doctors to advise discontinued use of nicotine products if one’s sleep is impacted (Wiener RC;Waters C;Bhandari R;Trickett Shockey AK;Alshaarawy O;, 2020), (Dugas EN;Sylvestre MP;O’Loughlin EK;Brunet J;Kakinami L;Constantin E;O’Loughlin J, 2016). As nicotine usage is rampant in young adult communities and a healthy sleep schedule is thought to be crucial for complete functioning (CDC, Youth and Tobacco Use 2020), it is important to examine the relationship between the two and the potential impact nicotine could have. The aim of this study was to find evidence either in support of or to the contrary to the hypothesis that nicotine usage negatively affects sleep.
