The asymmetric relationship between smoking and sleep: Longitudinal findings from Dutch panel data

Introduction Smokers typically experience more sleep problems than non-smokers, so sleep problems are frequently reported by smokers who are attempting to quit and these can be expected to develop also after initiation of smoking. However, little is known about the effects of starting smoking on sle...
