Introduction.
The unknown effects of electronic cigarettes are public health concerns.
One potential effect of electronic cigarette fluid constituents, such as nicotine, may influence sleep.
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an association between sleep duration and electronic cigarette use.
Methods.
A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2016.
Variables of interest included responses to questions concerning electronic cigarette use, hours of sleep, and other variables associated with sleep.
Data analyses were conducted with the Rao-Scott chi square test and logistic regression.
Results.
This study was conducted on 2889 participants, aged 18-65 years, of whom 50.7% were female.
Using a bivariate analyses of electronic cigarette usage and sleep duration, participants who never used an electronic cigarette were more likely to have appropriate sleep durations as compared with participants who were currently using electronic cigarettes (P<0.0001).
After adjusting for sociodemographic variables and cigarette smoking, current electronic cigarette use was associated with higher odds of less sleep duration (adjusted odds ratio=1.82; 95% CI: 1.18, 2.79; P=0.0075).
Conclusions.
Participants currently using electronic cigarettes are more likely to have less sleep as compared to participants who have never used electronic cigarettes.
Implications.
With sleep time duration being a major factor for proper body function and repair, this study can serve as confirmation that the use of electronic cigarettes is not a harmless health behavior.
