A research project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to study the interactions between cannabis use, sleep, and the HPA-axis through a randomized control trial.
Description
This study aims to investigate the bidirectional relationship between sleep and cannabis use, including the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as a mediator. It involves a three-week randomized control trial with ecological assessments, actigraphy, and laboratory sleep protocols to understand how sleep restriction or extension impacts cannabis use and sleep regulation.
