flag 18% of U.S. young adults use cannabis to sleep, with risks linked to long-term use, experts say.

flag About 18% of U.S. young adults aged 19 to 30 use cannabis to help fall asleep, according to a 2025 study of nearly 1,500 people, with higher rates among women and those identifying as another gender. flag Alcohol is used by 7% for sleep, particularly among daily users and Black respondents. flag While both substances may aid sleep onset, long-term use is linked to worsened sleep quality, tolerance, and increased risk of substance use disorders. flag Experts urge healthcare providers to screen for sleep issues and substance use, recommending evidence-based alternatives like cognitive behavioral therapy and sleep hygiene instead of self-medication.
