Cannabis on the mind: Study finds connection between sleep, memory and marijuana use
Miriam Fauzia, The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS — As public support for marijuana decriminalization grows, new research is shedding light on the drug’s impact on sleep and memory.
In a recent study published in The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas found that adults with cannabis use disorder tended to experience poorer sleep than those without the condition. They also performed more poorly on tests assessing visuospatial memory, or the ability to retain and process information about an object’s appearance and location.
