A lot of people would find it amusing
at the very least that many of their
health concerns and issues are
connected with one another. Lisa M.
Cannon, M.D., cites the connection
of smoking and sleep as a perfect
example of it.
In her line of work, Lisa M. Cannon,
M.D., has constantly been looking
for ways to help her patients, who
mostly have respiratory and sleep
problems. One of the more
important discoveries she’s made
over the past decades revolves
around smoking, or rather, the act of
quitting the habit.
Recent studies have shed light on the quality and duration of sleep smokers and non-
smokers get. According to research, not only do non-smokers sleep more than
smokers, they also sleep more soundly and wake up feeling more refreshed.
A possible culprit of a
smoker’s sleep problems could
be nicotine, which is a
stimulant in itself. The
inhalation of the chemical
could have negative effects,
not just on a smoker’s lungs,
but also with his body clock,

2. and ultimately brain
functions.
The findings of the research
well coincide with previous
studies done on heavy
smokers who were found to be
more prone to both snoring a
sleep apnea. Today, however,
scientists are beginning to find
newer concerns, such as mood
and behavior problems, and
cognitive issues, on top of
sleep problems.
While it’s easier said than
done, Lisa M. Cannon, M.D.,
believes that the answer is all
too simple – stop smoking.
Lisa M. Cannon, M.D., graduated from New York Medical College in 1991 and
received her pulmonary fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital. She was affiliated with
Pascack Valley Hospital and the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. Dr. Cannon has
since focused on her own private practice in New Jersey, specializing in pulmonary
and respiratory medicine and sleep medicine. For more on sleep health, check out
