    Introduction

    Substance use affects approximately 46.3 million people aged 12 years or older (16.5% of the US population) and is associated with poor sleep health overall.

    Methods

    We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis of data from the 2020 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey in Ohio. The sample comprised 14,676 adults. We examined associations between the use of 2 types of substances (marijuana and nonprescribed prescription pain medication) and short sleep duration (<6 hours per night) and overall health (mental, physical, and general). We used linear and logistic regression modeling while adjusting for individual-level (age, sex, race and ethnicity, education, income, and body mass index) and area-level (socioeconomic deprivation) covariates.

    Results

    Of survey respondents who answered questions, 9.2% (1,140 of 12,362) reported using marijuana, and 1.4% (111 of 8,203) used nonprescribed prescription pain medication. Respondents who used marijuana used it an average 17.3 days per month. In adjusted logistic regression models, the odds of reporting short sleep duration were 2.4 times greater among respondents who used nonprescribed prescription pain medication (vs those who did not). The odds of reporting short sleep duration, poor mental health, poor physical health, and poor general health were 1.5, 1.3, 2.1, and 1.9 times greater, respectively, among respondents who reported marijuana use (vs those who did not). In the linear regression models (adjusted), more days of marijuana use were associated with longer sleep duration, worse mental health, and worse general health.

    Conclusion

    Understanding the connection between substance use and health outcomes is needed to improve trajectories of substance use and recovery. Sleep duration is often underassessed among people who use substances. Expanding diagnostics and treatment options for those who use substances may result in lower levels of substance use and improved overall health.
