HealthDay (4/14, McNiff) reports, “Teenagers who use marijuana to fall asleep may be setting themselves up for insomnia later in life,” researchers concluded after analyzing “the sleep habits and history of marijuana use among 1,882 teens from Colorado.” The study revealed that “roughly one-third of the participants who started using marijuana before age 18 had insomnia later in life.” In comparison, just “20% of the other participants – who either never became regular marijuana users or started their use at age 18 or older – had insomnia in adulthood.” The findings were published online in the journal Sleep.
