If you smoke, vape, or chew tobacco and are having trouble sleeping, Stellar Sleep sheds some light on why. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-210c624 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"210c624\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s no secret that nicotine isn\u2019t good for you, but the substance may have other unexpected disadvantages as well. If you\u2019re a smoker (or use nicotine in any other form, like vaping, chewing tobacco, or patches), nicotine may be negatively impacting you in more ways than you know.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you\u2019ve been getting poor sleep, the culprit may be literally at your fingertips.<\/p><h2><strong>How Does Nicotine Affect the Body?<\/strong><\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/nicotine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicotine<\/a> is a stimulant, and it can be found in products like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco options like chewing tobacco. Each form of nicotine enters the system differently, but they all impact the body in generally the same ways.<\/p><h3><strong>Neurotransmitters<\/strong><\/h3><p>Neurotransmitters are the body&#8217;s chemical messengers, delivering messages from throughout the brain and body. Nicotine has the ability to bind with specific receptors in the brain, blocking them from being able to signal the release of different chemicals \u2014 acetylcholine, GABA, etc.\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15453274\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The effects of nicotine can also impact cognitive function<\/a> due to changes in some of these neurotransmitters.<\/p><h3><strong>Endorphins<\/strong><\/h3><p>Another negative ability of nicotine is how it impacts our reward system. Like other addictive substances, nicotine makes sure that the people who use it continue to use it by triggering the release of positive endorphins \u2014 when you use nicotine, you do temporarily feel good.<\/p><p>Nicotine\u2019s ability to generate these feelings of pleasure and satisfaction is what keeps people \u201chooked\u201d and what makes quitting more difficult.<\/p><h3><strong>Blood Pressure<\/strong><\/h3><p>Nicotine can also have a negative impact on cardiovascular health \u2014 even in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.1161\/cir.0b013e3181f432c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smokeless forms<\/a>. When it enters the system, nicotine narrows the blood vessels throughout the body, increasing heart rate. The result is increased blood pressure, which can be potentially dangerous if not managed quickly.\u00a0<\/p><p>Nicotine can also cause a rise in adrenaline in the system, which can increase the risk of cardiovascular complications like a heart attack or stroke.<\/p><h3><strong>Nicotine Withdrawal<\/strong><\/h3><p>Because nicotine is addictive, withdrawing from it can be unpleasant and challenging \u2014 that\u2019s why so many people try to quit and fail multiple times before they succeed. Nicotine withdrawal can last for up to a month and include both physical and mental symptoms.\u00a0<\/p><p>These withdrawal symptoms include increased appetite, brain fog, constipation, dizziness, headaches, intense nicotine cravings, and irritability.<\/p><p>Nicotine withdrawal symptoms are usually at their worst the first week after quitting and start to gradually subside after that. Nicotine replacement can help ease some of the early signs but also lengthens the time that you deal with withdrawal.<\/p><h3><strong>Stomach Upset<\/strong><\/h3><p>Nicotine\u2019s ability to narrow blood vessels can also take its toll on your gastrointestinal system. Because nicotine is a stimulant, it also speeds up how quickly things move through your GI system (which is why one of the side effects of stopping nicotine use can be constipation).\u00a0<\/p><p>Nicotine can also increase the risk of developing heartburn and stomach ulcers, as it is harsh on your system. You may also not feel as hungry while using nicotine, which may lead to unintentional, unhealthy weight loss.\u00a0<\/p><h3><strong>Mental Health<\/strong><\/h3><p>Nicotine can also potentially negatively impact your mental health. Nicotine\u2019s ability to decrease the amount of \u201cfeel good\u201d hormones and endorphins in your system \u2014 dopamine and serotonin, most importantly \u2014 means that you may feel good while using nicotine, but that feeling is very temporary. Over time, nicotine use can increase the likelihood and severity of anxiety and depression.<\/p><h2><strong>Does Nicotine Keep You Awake at Night?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The answer is clear \u2014 nicotine absolutely has the ability to negatively impact your sleep. Nicotine is a stimulant. It doesn\u2019t just speed up bodily processes, it speeds up the mind as well. Those who regularly use nicotine often may find themselves lying awake in bed at night, unable to shut their brains off long enough to fall asleep.\u00a0<\/p><p>Studies have shown that both the <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33221256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quality and quantity of your sleep can be impacted by nicotine<\/a>. Nicotine can also cause sleep disturbances, including stopping the body from getting rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.\u00a0<\/p><p>These sleep issues can easily lead to the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/learn\/do-i-have-insomnia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insomnia<\/a>, which can trigger a host of physical and mental health problems. It can also impair the body\u2019s ability to convert short-term memories into long-term memories.<\/p><h2><strong>How Can You Reduce Nicotine Intake?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Reducing your nicotine intake isn\u2019t something that you should take lightly, especially if you\u2019ve been using nicotine for an extended period of time. After all, nicotine is considered a drug, so reducing your intake can have all the same side effects as quitting any other addictive substance.<\/p><p>Although it may be tempting when you quit smoking to go \u201ccold turkey,\u201d people often find stopping this way can make it more challenging to maintain. Instead, work with your doctor to slowly reduce the amount of nicotine you&#8217;re using. This can help minimize withdrawal symptoms and increase the likelihood that you will be able to stay away from nicotine long-term.\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>How Can You Improve Your Sleep?<\/strong><\/h2><p>In addition to cutting down on your nicotine usage, there are other ways that you can improve your sleep as well. Improving your sleep health is one of the best ways to support both your mind and body \u2014 sleep is the time our body needs to rest, recover, and convert short-term memories into long-term ones.\u00a0<\/p><p>Better sleep requires a focus on physiological and psychological factors. Once you rule out any physical issues that may be holding you back \u2014 like sleep apnea \u2014 you can move on to addressing the psychological factors that are playing a role.\u00a0<\/p><p>Working on improving your sleep hygiene is also a great way to get better sleep. Small factors like your room temperature, ambient light and sound, your caffeine intake, and even when you exercise can all negatively impact your rest.\u00a0<\/p><p>Start with a <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/quiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free sleep quiz<\/a> to determine what factors may be stopping you from getting the sleep you need, then consider working with a <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/learn\/cbti-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBT-I coach<\/a> to make the changes you need to address them.\u00a0<\/p><h2><strong>When Should You Seek Medical Advice?<\/strong><\/h2><p>It\u2019s never a bad idea to seek medical advice when you\u2019re making any big changes in your life and your health, especially when taking the big step of quitting an addictive substance like nicotine.<\/p><p>If you\u2019ve been habitually using nicotine in any of its forms, it may be safest to speak with a medical professional for advice on how to reduce or discontinue usage. Different smoking cessation medications may be appropriate, but they will need to be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you think you may need help quitting, contact a professional before attempting it on your own.<\/p><h2><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h2><p>As studies show, non-smokers may have less sleep disruption than smokers. Stopping or even just reducing your nicotine intake may seem impossible, but finding a way forward can be your key to a better life and a good night\u2019s sleep. Nicotine has the ability to impact many different parts of your body, as well as your mental health.\u00a0<\/p><p>Try our <a href=\"https:\/\/stellarsleep.com\/quiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free sleep quiz<\/a> for other ways to improve your sleep quality \u2014 improving your sleep habits can be life-changing.<\/p><p>Sources:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/nicotine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicotine | C10H14N2 | CID 89594 | PubChem<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15453274\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nicotine-induced changes in neurotransmitter levels in brain areas associated with cognitive function | PubMed<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/full\/10.1161\/cir.0b013e3181f432c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impact of Smokeless Tobacco Products on Cardiovascular Disease: Implications for Policy, Prevention, and Treatment | AHA<\/a><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/33221256\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smoke at night and sleep worse?
