This study examined the prevalence of alcohol and cannabis self-medication practices among adolescents and explored the concurrent (Study I) and prospective (Study II) association with sleep quality and problematic use. Methods: One cross-sectional and one longitudinal (6-m onth interval) study were conducted. Participants comprised 1,121 Spanish adolescents aged 15 to 18 (57.1 % female) for Study I, and 221 for Study II (55.7 % female).
