Marijuana: Is it an effective sleep aid?
"Is smoking marijuana different than consuming it in edible form? ... Yes. Smoking (or vaping) marijuana introduces the same or similar problems that smoking cigarettes brings: inhaled particulate matter has a long-term detrimental effect on the respiratory system. ... However, consuming marijuana in edible or capsule forms does not seem to result in the same systemic inflammation caused by inhaling smoke. This bodes well for people who are turning to marijuana for treatment of pain..."

 TOP TEN || Sleep news picks this week — newest to oldest — Curator's Choice
This week's Top Ten List honors World Sleep Day (March 18) by featuring the most intriguing posts to go live on this day. 

1. ABC 13 EYEWITNESS NEWS
School law may mean earlier wake-ups for students, parents
From the curator: Earlier wake-ups fly in the face of trends informed by ample scientific evidence. Waking these people up in the midst of their final REM cycle is going to have repercussions: irritable, groggy students and parents and a much higher problem with early-morning drowsy driving. What is Texas thinking?
National 

2. CLASSIC SLEEP CARE
When You Stop PAP, How Do You Start Again?
From the curator: A worthwhile question, as many PAP users stop and start again. Great advice.
Technology

3. DAILY MAIL 

Church that believes 'witchcraft' works early in the morning is fined £8,000 for holding noisy 'anti-demon' services at 3am

From the curator: Do the sermons have to be that noisy to work? And is witchcraft that big a problem in this town?

World

4. FEDERAL NEWS RADIO
Army drills down on health of its force, finds it needs more sleep
From the curator: See "Fort Carson" article below in the Nation section.
Multimedia

5. HUFFINGTON POST
#SleeplessSenate: A Look Into Sleep Deprivation
From the curator: Why stop at Australia? Maybe this should be an international inquiry.
World

6. HUFFINGTON POST SLEEP + WELLNESS
7 Innovations That Are Making Sleep Easier In 2016
From the curator: Leave it to HuffPo to stay on top of these trends. Thank you, Arianna.
Technology

7. HUFFINGTON POST SLEEP + WELLNESS
A society without sleep
From the curator: A reasonable plea.
Lifestyle & Hygiene

8. THE MIRROR
Modern day dads are losing out on sleep as more are changing nappies at night than mums
From the curator: Not surprising at all. Maybe a long-overdue reckoning of the playing field and an opportunity for millions of women to be recognized for sacrifices they've made for centuries. 
Parenting

9. THE MIRROR
When do pilots sleep in the cockpit during long-haul flights? Napping on the job isn't uncommon
From the curator: Autopilot still needs to be "manned." It's not a free pass to sneak in a few winks. If this is the norm, then we need to rethink the message we are sending to our pilots: that it's okay to work while sleep deprived.
Public Health & Safety

10. VOX
If you’re just not a morning person, science says you may never be
From the curator: But will the business world appreciate this is a distinct chronotype for millions of people? Some corporate leaders are recognizing sleep as an important asset to their employees, but their vision has yet to trickle down to employers who think nothing of assigning asynchronous shift times and scheduling their workers in random fashion.
