Millions of Americans Use Cannabis for Sleep, But Research Shows It May Worsen Rest

Here is what the page “Millions of Americans Use Cannabis for Sleep, But Research Shows It May Worsen Rest” contains. A growing number of Americans turn to cannabis as a nightly sleep aid, but new research suggests the habit may backfire. Studies indicate that while THC can help users fall asleep faster initially, regular use may reduce overall sleep quality, suppress REM sleep, and lead to dependence. Experts warn that many users are unaware of the long-term consequences, including next-day grogginess and disrupted sleep architecture.

With cannabis legalization expanding across the U.S., sleep researchers are calling for more public education on the risks of using marijuana as a sleep remedy. The paradox is clear: what feels like a quick fix may be quietly undermining the restorative sleep millions are seeking.
