Marijuana (MJ) is the most commonly used recreational drug in the US. Research on the relationship between MJ and sleep is still in its infancy. The study examined the differences in sleep characteristics between a community sample of daily users, non-daily MJ users, and non-users. A total of 98 subjects (45M; 53 F) participated. The mean age was 22.3 (SD=3.0). There were 53 females and 55% of the sample was Caucasian. Recruitment was through online and via print advertisements in the community. Groups were categorized as non-daily users (n=29), daily users (n=49), and non-user controls (n=20). Sleep was characterized by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Morningness Scale (MEQ). A standard cut off score of >10 for the ISI was found in 38.8% of daily users, 10.3% of non-daily users, and 20% of non-users. PSQI scores in daily users (7.0 +/− 3.8) was higher than non-daily (4.9+/−3.2) and non-user controls (5.0+/− 3.7), p=0.02. ISI scores in daily users (7.9 +/−6.1) were higher than non-daily (5.1 +/−4.3) and non-user controls (4.3+/−4.8), p=0.01. Covariate adjusted regression analyses revealed mean PSQI and ISI scores were significantly lower for non-daily users and controls relative to the daily users. When adjusting for depression and anxiety, these unique associations were not significant. There were no differences in ESS or MEQ. Daily MJ users endorsed more sleep disturbance than non-daily users. Future studies should consider mood in the relationship between MJ use and sleep.
