Sleep deprivation may be a contributing factor to adolescents' willingness to experiment with substance use, including electronic nicotine devices (ENDS). While it is generally accepted that nicotine has a negative overall effect on sleep, no studies have yet explored whether sleep deprivation may contribute to adolescents' initiation of ENDS use. The purpose of this study is to explore whether sleep deprivation is associated with adolescents' self-reported susceptibility to initiating ENDS use in the next month. Respondents were 1,100 adolescents aged 13-17 across the United States who participated in the Vaping Attitudes Youth Perspectives Survey (VAYPS). We used logistic regression to examine cross-sectional associations between self-reported average sleep duration and self-reported likelihood of trying ENDS in the future. Results of the three logistic regression models show that adolescents who reported getting less than six hours of sleep per night were associated with greater odds of reporting any likelihood to try a vape in the next 30 days even when controlling for demographics and potential confounders (<6hrs sleep: OR = 2.63, 95% CI 1.30-5.31). Future research on the association between sleep deprivation and ENDS use among adolescents will benefit from using longitudinal approaches to better understand causality.
睡眠不足可能是青少年愿意尝试使用包括电子尼古丁设备（ENDS）在内的物质的一个促成因素。虽然人们普遍认为尼古丁对睡眠有负面的总体影响，但尚未有研究探讨睡眠不足是否可能导致青少年开始使用ENDS。本研究的目的是探讨睡眠不足是否与青少年自我报告的在下个月开始使用ENDS的易感性有关。受访者是来自美国各地的1100名13至17岁的青少年，他们参与了青少年电子烟态度调查（VAYPS）。我们使用逻辑回归来检验自我报告的平均睡眠时间与自我报告的未来尝试ENDS可能性之间的横断面关联。三个逻辑回归模型的结果表明，即使在控制了人口统计学和潜在混杂因素后，报告每晚睡眠不足六小时的青少年在未来30天内报告有任何尝试电子烟可能性的几率更高（睡眠<6小时：OR = 2.63，95% CI 1.30 - 5.31）。未来关于青少年睡眠不足与使用ENDS之间关联的研究将受益于采用纵向研究方法，以更好地理解因果关系。
