This exploratory study examines sleep quality and perceived stress together as factors that may shape recovery from substance use disorder. Using data from individuals in recovery, the article evaluates how sleep and stress relate to delay discounting, effort discounting, and quality of life. Findings suggest that sleep quality is associated with delay discounting, while perceived stress is associated with several quality-of-life domains, including psychological health, social relationships, and environment. Both sleep and stress were associated with physical health quality of life. The article underscores the importance of considering everyday health and stress-related factors as part of recovery research and intervention planning.
