Abstract
Our study explores associations between sleep quality, affect, and substance use among 83 older sexual minority men living with HIV. Analyzing 1542 daily diaries, sleep quality predicted negative affect and emotion dysregulation, alongside cross-sectional associations with substance use. This highlights the importance of sleep for mood factors affecting substance use.
