Smokers may get fewer hours of sleep and have a less somnolence than non smokers, a new research found. German scientists discovered that of approximately 1,100 smokers they investigated, 17 per cent got less than six hours of sleep each night and 28 per cent reported agitated sleep quality. That compared with rates of seven per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, among more than 1,200 non-smokers.The study cannot demonstrate that smoking tobacco directly impairs sleep. Smokers may have other habits that could affect their sleep such as staying up late to watch TV or doing less sport, declared lead study Dr. Stefan Cohrs, of Charite Berlin medical school in Germany.

Robbie Williams has quit smoking. The 38-year-old ‘Angles’ singer – who gave up drinking after getting hooked on drugs and alcohol following his 1995 departure from Take That – has reportedly now waved goodbye to his 40-a-day cigarette habit. A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘So far he hasn’t smoked in ten days. He wants to start a family with Ayda soon, so it’s a good move. ‘He’s also in training for the Unicef Soccer Aid match at Old Trafford in May, so he’ll need to be fit.’
