Given the rising rates of insufficient sleep and the popularity of marijuana, we investigated using marijuana as a sleep aid, marijuana use frequency, problematic marijuana use, and sleep problems. Participants included a convenience sample of college students who endorsed using marijuana in the past year from May to December 2013 ( = 354; 68% female, 57% White). Path analyses investigated if using marijuana to sleep predicted: (1) marijuana use outcomes and (2) sleep problems; and if sleep problems predicted marijuana use outcomes. Using marijuana to sleep was related to increased use and problematic use, as well as worse sleep efficiency. Daytime dysfunction related to sleepiness was associated with elevated levels of marijuana use and problematic use. Similar associations were found across sex and race. College students should be informed of the potential misconceptions between marijuana and improved sleep and provided with evidence-based alternatives to improve their sleep.
鉴于睡眠不足的发生率不断上升和大麻的普及，我们调查了使用大麻作为助眠剂、大麻使用频率、大麻使用问题以及睡眠问题。参与者包括 2013 年 5 月至 12 月期间来自一所大学的方便样本学生，这些学生在过去一年中曾表示使用过大麻（ = 354；女性占 68%，白人占 57%）。路径分析调查了使用大麻助眠是否可以预测：(1) 大麻使用结果和 (2) 睡眠问题；以及睡眠问题是否可以预测大麻使用结果。使用大麻助眠与增加使用和使用问题有关，也与睡眠效率下降有关。与嗜睡相关的日间功能障碍与大麻使用和使用问题的增加有关。在性别和种族方面都发现了类似的关联。应告知大学生们关于大麻和改善睡眠之间的潜在误解，并提供基于证据的替代方法来改善他们的睡眠。
