Sleep architecture in adolescent marijuana and alcohol users during acute and extended abstinence
Addictive Behaviors Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2009, Pages 976-979

This study examined sleep changes following cessation of marijuana and alcohol use during late adolescence.

Results indicate that in adolescents: (1) cessation of heavy marijuana and alcohol use may influence sleep; (2) most sleep abnormalities abate within several weeks of abstinence; and (3) PLMs may increase following abstinence.
