Manage episode 408671451 series 3365942
When it comes to substances affecting sleep negatively, it seems alcohol and caffeine hog all of the spotlight. But what about nicotine?

- Examine the effects of nicotine on sleep
- Look at the effects of nicotine withdrawal on sleep metrics
- Understand the potential bidirectional relationship of effect
- Compare the effects with other stimulants and chemicals
- Evaluate the potential nicotine dose effect on sleep
- Touch upon the effect of nicotine on sleep spindle activity and how that might impact memory
