Objective: Research investigating cannabis use and sleep health is limited, and results are mixed. Few studies were nationally representative with racially-ethnically diverse samples or assessed potential modifiers. Our objective was to investigate cross-sectional associations between reported cannabis use and sleep disturbances by potential modifiers among non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic/Latino men and women in the United States.

- Ethnoracial disparities in sleep health may contribute to broader health issues among U.S. college students, focusing on how socioenvironmental stressors vary by race/ethnicity.
- A study analyzing National Health Interview Survey data from 2004 to 2017 found that Black/African-American students reported significantly shorter sleep durations compared to White students, whereas Hispanic/Latino and Asian students did not show similar disparities.
- Insomnia symptoms were generally consistent across ethnoracial groups, but Asian students reported higher instances of nonrestorative sleep, suggesting the need for further research on the socioenvironmental factors influencing these differences.
