Description:
A group of 50 smokers experienced greater sleep difficulty than a group of 50 nonsmokers matched by age and sex. The two groups did not differ in personality patterns or drug consumption. Also, sleep patterns significantly improved in a group of eight chronic smokers when they abstained from cigarette smoking. These findings are consistent with reports on the stimulant effects of nicotine.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Soldatos, C R -- Kales, J D -- Scharf, M B -- Bixler, E O -- Kales, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Feb 1;207(4430):551-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7352268" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
