Abstract in brief

The study investigates how vaporized Cannabis, specifically low doses of THC, affects sleep in rats, focusing on sleep patterns and brain activity during different phases of the day.
Findings show that a high dose (200mg) of Cannabis increases non-REM sleep during the light phase, reduces certain brain wave activities (EEG power), and affects sleep spindles during the dark phase, but lower doses had no significant impact.
Overall, the research suggests that vaporized Cannabis at specific doses can influence sleep architecture and brain activity, with effects varying depending on the dose and the time of day.
