“…This relationship was further examined in a study by Jaehne et al . (), who investigated using polysomnograph recordings and subjective ratings the sleeping patterns of smokers during periods of smoking and withdrawal (24–36 hours after smoking cessation) and after a period of nicotine abstinence (3 months after cessation). The authors demonstrated that nicotine withdrawal resulted in increased arousal and wake time as compared to the smoking state.…”

The aim of Addiction Biology is to advance our understanding of the action of drugs of abuse and addictive processes via the publication of high-impact clinical and pre-clinical findings resulting from behavioral, molecular, genetic, biochemical, neurobiological and pharmacological research. As of 2013, Addiction Biology is ranked number 1 in the category of Substance Abuse journals (SCI). Occasionally, Addiction Biology likes to highlight via review important findings focused on a particular topic and recently published in the journal. The current review summarizes a number of key publications from Addiction Biology that have contributed to the current knowledge of nicotine research, comprising a wide spectrum of approaches, both clinical and pre-clinical, at the cellular, molecular, systems and behavioral levels. A number of findings from human studies have identified, using imaging techniques, alterations in common brain circuits, as well as morphological and network activity changes, associated with tobacco use. Furthermore, both clinical and pre-clinical studies have characterized a number of mechanistic targets critical to understanding the effects of nicotine and tobacco addiction. Together, these findings will undoubtedly drive future studies examining the dramatic impact of tobacco use and the development of treatments to counter nicotine dependence.

“…7 Consequently, sleep disturbances have been observed among nicotine-dependent individuals. [8][9][10] Short sleep duration has been linked with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. 8,[11][12][13][14] Based on self-reported smoking, current smokers have been found to have higher odds of short sleep duration and poor sleep quality compared to neversmokers.…”

Introduction A majority of studies on tobacco smoke exposure and sleep quality have relied on self-reported smoking, resulting in potential exposure misclassification and biases related to self-report. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between urinary cotinine, a biological marker of tobacco smoke exposure, and sleep quality measures, including sleep duration, sleep continuity or efficiency, sleep satisfaction and alertness during normal waking hours. Methods Using data on a national sample of 10 806 adults (aged 18–79 years) from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007–2013), we performed binary logistic regression analyses to estimate associations between urinary cotinine concentrations and sleep quality measures, while controlling for potential confounders. Additionally, we performed ordinal logistic regression to assess the association between urinary cotinine concentrations and increased number of sleep problems. Results Overall, 28.7% of adult Canadian survey respondents had urinary cotinine concentrations above the limit of detection (LOD), and the prevalence of each sleep problem ranged from 5.5% to 35.6%. Elevated urinary cotinine concentrations (quartile 4 vs. $lt;LOD) were associated with significantly higher odds of short or long sleep duration (OR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.02–1.95; p-trend = .021), trouble falling or staying asleep (OR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.28–2.27; p-trend = .003), sleep dissatisfaction (OR = 1.87; 95% CI: 1.21–2.89; p-trend = .011), and increased number of sleep problems (OR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.19–2.26; p-trend = .001). Stronger associations were observed among females compared to males. Conclusion Using a biological marker of tobacco smoke exposure, our study contributes to the body of literature of toxic environmental exposures on sleep quality by supporting an association between tobacco smoke exposure and poorer sleep quality. To address the limitations of a cross-sectional study design and to better assess the temporality of tobacco smoke exposure and sleep quality, longitudinal studies are recommended.

“…Smoking abstinence of such older adults led to impairments in sleep quality, reflected by increased number of sleep stage changes, awakenings, and arousal [29] or sleep fragmentation [30] following the first 48-72 hours of abstinence [31]. More recently, Jaehne and colleagues [32,33] reported similar results in a sample that included young adults alongside older adults (median age of group: 29; range: ). Yet, the authors did not report analysis of sleep quality by age group.…”

Objective: The role of sleep quality in tobacco dependence of young adults, a population in which the prevalence of smoking is highest, is largely unknown. The current study aimed at examining whether the sleep quality of smokers, measured subjectively (the Mini Sleep Questionnaire; MSQ) and objectively (actigraphy) is worse than that of nonsmokers and further deteriorates during one week of abstinence from smoking (i.e., first stage of cessation). Methods: Forty-six young (19-28 years old) volunteers, of them were 26 nonsmokers (73.1% women) and 20 were regular smokers (75% women) smoking at least 10 cigarettes a day. The participants completed the Brief Questionnaire on Smoking Urges, the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), and the Mini Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ). Their sleep was then monitored objectively for one week using an actigraph. Subsequently, the participants of the smokers group ceased smoking and their sleep was monitored via actigraphy during the first week of smoking abstinence. At the end of the week they again completed the FTND and the MSQ. Results: Self-reported sleep quality did not differ between the groups. However, actigraphy data pointed to lower sleep continuity in smokers compared to nonsmokers as reflected by increased wake time after sleep onset (WASO) and nighttime awakenings. Total sleep time and sleep onset latency did not differ between the groups. During the week of abstinence sleep continuity further deteriorated as reflected by increases in WASO and in the number of awakenings, and a reduction in sleep efficiency. At the end of the week of abstinence the severity of self-reported symptoms of insomnia predicted urge to smoke. Conclusion: Young adult smokers have lower sleep continuity compared to nonsmokers and their sleep difficulties worsen during smoking cessation. The findings suggest that interventions intended to promote sleep quality could serve as adjunct treatment for smoking cessation.
