The harmful effects of regular cigarettes are well documented, which is why many smokers are switching from smoking to vaping and swapping out harmful tobacco for e-liquid instead. Smoking is extremely harmful in many ways and can lead to a number of health problems. This is the main reason many people switch to nicotine from e-cigarettes. However, some of those who decide to make the switch may notice several lifestyle changes that may impact sleep. But how does vaping affect sleep and why? You will find the answer here in CAK.
Does vaping affect sleep?
The short answer to this question is yes. Vaping affects sleep, especially for those who have recently switched from smoking to vaping. For some vapers, this is a frustrating reality, but it’s important to remember that this is just part of the transition period and is definitely not a regular part of your life as a vaper.
Why does vaping affect sleep?
The simple answer is that if you’re switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, you’ve most likely chosen e-liquids with nicotine. Because nicotine is a stimulant, it can sometimes have an effect similar to caffeine, leaving you staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night and wondering why you can’t just switch off.
The nicotine you get from your e-cigarette is often stronger than the nicotine from a traditional cigarette. Because of this, you have an adjustment period even if you are already used to nicotine.
Don’t let vaping interfere with your sleep
It seems like there is no solution to your sleepless state, if you lie awake in the early hours of the morning, don’t worry. There are some things you can do before bed to make sure you can switch off more easily. First switch to an e-liquid with a lower nicotine strength than you are currently using. You can even switch to a nicotine-free e-liquid if it gets later. This gives you enough time to get rid of the chemicals in your body before bed.
At Totally Wicked we have e-liquids in different nicotine strengths to best suit your lifestyle. You can also try vaping less as the day draws to a close. This is a good option if you don’t want to buy new e-liquid.
In addition to considering your vaping habits and e-liquid choice, it’s equally important to make sure other factors aren’t interfering with your sleep. It’s also important to avoid too much screen time before bed, as the blue light emitted by electronic screens tricks your brain into thinking it’s time to be awake and not relax. Other things like drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverages can have a big impact on your sleep schedule, as well as external factors like stress. However, it is quite normal to experience mild sleep disturbances when switching from cigarettes to e-cigs. We believe that the “better” health you’ll benefit from is worth a few nights of below average rest.
