Do cigars affect your sleep?

[Boudie]

A buddy mentioned that he quit smoking in the evening because it affected his sleep. Anyone else have this experience?

 

[Yakcraz]

I think I sleep better when I smoke in the evenings. It helps me wind down after the day.

 

[xFreebirdx]

No.

Sometimes. Nicotine is a stimulant. It’s kept me up on a few occasions.

 

[admartinct]

I find that I'll more often than not I'll have wild, extremely vivid dreams after a night of smoking. Everything that I've read online points to it being a side effect of the nicotine.

On regular days I don't like to smoke after 9pm for that reason, On weekends it's a free for all

That's interesting, now that you mention it...

Lots of tossing and turning before falling asleep and then 4 hours later waking up suddenly, all tangled up in the sheets. Cigars tend to slow me down during the day but I have heard that nicotine can be a stimulant.

Now I'm curious if it affects us older people more that naturally tend to gel less sleep as we age.

I'm 57 and still I say NO.

Cigars affect a lot of things, depending on what time you smoke the nicotine can definitely affect your sleep.

Another thing to look at, is nicotine, like other things, have a different effect on people based upon body chemistry.
I do not have any issues falling asleep after smoking before bed. But at the same time i take nyquil and can not fall asleep at all.
If it effects you, i would say follow the @irratebass method and not smoke after a certain time. Good luck!

I almost exclusively smoke late night and always go straight to bed right after. I have never had a problem falling asleep. Just like @Yakcraz said, it helps me to wind down after a long day.

I didn't consider myself "older" at 57!! Now that I'm in my 60s and I qualify for freebies and discounts at all the restaurants, hotels etc I feel older.

You're not alone bro.

I'm eating fiber and dealing with my enlarged prostate as we who are over 60 seem to be doing. Aging is the circle of life in reverse order....kinda like the Case of Benjamin Button....from diapers to diapers...from wrinkles to wrinkles....from uncontrollable and nightly visits to the bathroom....I might have set a record last night..6 times. Enjoy your youth kids.....after 60 is Mr Toads Wild Ride!

Doesn't affect me, but I'm pretty much stimulant addicted. Nicotine is cigars doesnt affect me at all, about the only thing I get a nic buzz from anymore is pipe tobacco if i breathe it into my lungs. I chewed a lot for a while though. Caffeine has 0 effect on me, honestly I can have an energy drink with 300mg of caffeine before bed and sleep just fine.

 

[Rupe]

I used to have no issues with caffeine but over the past couple of years I have had to cut back. Anything I consume after about 1:00 in the afternoon now keeps me up at night.

As far as tobacco, I have no issues. I do have a co-worker though that has trouble sleeping after a cigar. He will now have one with me during the day if we have the chance but will not partake if it is anytime after dinner.

 

[csk415]

No issues either. Usually have one around 8pm.

 

[mjones9630]

Yes. I'm young, and can notice a difference... Although it's not enough to bother me
