One in five young Americans falls asleep with cannabis or alcohol: a study

According to glavcom.ua: Researchers emphasize that while these substances may help with sleep, their regular use can lead to sleep disorders and addiction. Sociologists advise considering this data when treating sleep issues among young people. The study was conducted by the national project 'Monitoring the Future,' involving 1,473 respondents aged 19 to 30 years.

More than 20% of young Americans aged 18 to 35 consume alcohol or cannabis before sleep to fall asleep more easily. According to a study by the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, cannabis is more popular among the youth than alcohol.

Research conducted in the U.S. found that some young people use alcohol and cannabis as a way to cope with sleep problems. At the same time, scientists warn of the possible negative consequences of regular use of these substances. Primarily, this can lead to sleep disorders and the development of addiction. It is also important to consider this data when developing treatment programs for sleep issues among youth to ensure their health and well-being.
