What This Code Means
This code describes sleep problems caused by the use of stimulant drugs (such as cocaine, amphetamines, or other similar substances) when the specific type of stimulant or pattern of use is not documented. The person is experiencing difficulty sleeping as a direct result of stimulant substance use.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies stimulant-induced sleep disorder; if a specific stimulant is identified (cocaine, amphetamines, etc.), use the more specific F15.x code for that substance instead
- •This code requires documentation linking the sleep disturbance directly to stimulant use; ensure the clinical record supports this causal relationship before assigning
Clinical Significance

Sleep disruption is one of the most predictable complications of stimulant use and significantly impacts overall health, functioning, and recovery. Documenting this complication supports comprehensive care and accurate risk adjustment.

- ✓Documentation of stimulant use
