So if experience tells you that caffeine keeps you awake (caffeine blocks the effect of adenosine on the brain - read here about adenosine and sleep) our suggestion is to have your last coffee just after lunch for a better nights sleep (and watch the total amount of caffeine you consume)
Going to bed at the same time each night, limiting screen use before bed and keeping the bedroom quiet and dark can help reinforce the bodys natural sleep signals, but nothing will truly improve as long as theres nicotine in the system
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can also affect sleep
Our team also offers preventive screenings for people who smoke heavily or have smoked for a long time
Most patients see significant improvement in insomnia after two weeks of completely stopping nicotine
That said, in my experience, many people opt for the gradual approach to convince themselves theyre committed but it often serves as a delay tactic, and they ultimately return to their usual smoking patterns
