A researcher was “totally surprised” by what this sleep study found

A 35-year study conducted by Northwestern revealed surprising findings regarding sleep patterns in marijuana users. The research utilized sleep trackers to demonstrate that these individuals woke up more frequently during the night. Despite the data showing increased disruptions, the participants remained unaware of these awakenings. The study highlights a significant gap between the actual sleep quality recorded by technology and the perceived sleep experience of the users, providing new insights into how marijuana affects nocturnal rest.
