Abstract in brief

  • Nicotine use affects sleep by causing insomnia symptoms like longer time to fall asleep, fragmented sleep, less deep slow wave sleep, and increased daytime sleepiness, while also often suppressing REM sleep.
  • During nicotine withdrawal, sleep disturbances and depressive symptoms tend to worsen, which can hinder quitting efforts, but therapeutic nicotine replacement may temporarily mask some withdrawal effects.
  • The variability in study results is mainly due to different research methods, highlighting the need for standardized approaches to better understand nicotine's impact on sleep and related health issues.]
