- Researchers studied how using substances like nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine affects sleep in people with a condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which makes it hard to breathe while sleeping.

- Overall, using these substances can change sleep quality and cause other health problems in people with OSA, so more studies are needed to understand this better.
