Sleep quality and duration following the use and co-use of alcohol and cannabis in the daily life of community adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sleep-promotion is one of the most common reasons people use cannabis. Previous studies, primarily among young adults, suggest that cannabis use has negligible day-level effects on sleep but may attenuate alcohol's negative effects when both substances are used. Studies among middle-aged/older adults are needed to determine the generalizability of these day-level associations.

Methods

This preregistered secondary data analysis examined daily-life associations between alcohol and cannabis use with next-day sleep quality and duration in a community sample of 48 adults (50 % female; age M=36.42, SD=10.96) reporting weekly alcohol and/or cannabis use. Participants completed ecological momentary assessments over 60 days. Multilevel models examined whether alcohol use,
