Up to 35% of adults in the United States suffer from sleep disturbances, which covary with a host of negative mental and physical health outcomes. Previous research suggests that cannabis' sedative effects may be associated with improved sleep. The present study examined the self-reported effect of cannabis use on individual's sleep-related problems. Participants included 311 individuals recruited online, who reported both sleep-related problems and cannabis use. Analyses revealed that participants expected cannabis to decrease the incidence of sleep-related problems, including allowing participants to have an earlier bedtime, to fall asleep more quickly, and to have a longer night's sleep. Moreover, expectancies about the influence of cannabis on sleep negatively covaried with cannabis-related problems. These findings suggest that individuals believe using cannabis might positively influence their sleep quality and believing so may be protective against cannabis problems. Randomized control trials of cannabis for insomnia appear justified.
高达 35%的美国成年人受到睡眠障碍的困扰，而这些障碍与许多负面的心理和身体健康后果相关。先前的研究表明，大麻的镇静作用可能与改善睡眠有关。本研究调查了大麻使用对个体睡眠相关问题的自我报告效果。参与者包括 311 名在线招募的个体，他们报告了睡眠相关问题和大麻使用情况。分析显示，参与者期望大麻能减少睡眠相关问题的发生，包括让他们有更早的就寝时间、更快入睡和更长的睡眠时间。此外，对大麻对睡眠影响的期望与与大麻相关的问题呈负相关。这些发现表明，个体认为使用大麻可能会对他们的睡眠质量产生积极影响，而这种信念可能有助于预防大麻问题。针对失眠症使用大麻的随机对照试验似乎是合理的。
