Abstract

The authors examined the relationship between global sleep quality and alcohol risk, including the extent to which global sleep quality moderated the relationship between alcohol use and drinking-related consequences. Global sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and alcohol-related consequences were assessed using the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI). The sample consisted of 261 college students (61.3% female, 58.2% Caucasian) who completed online surveys. Using a four-step hierarchical multiple regression model, global sleep quality was found to predict alcohol consequences, over and above assessed covariates (demographics and weekly drinking). Further, global sleep quality emerged as a strong moderator in the drinking-consequences relationship such that among heavier drinkers, those with poorer global sleep quality experienced significantly greater alcohol-related harm. Campus health education and alcohol interventions may be adapted to address the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, both in terms of healthful sleeping and drinking behaviors, which appear to play a strong synergistic role in alcohol-related risk.

  • Poorer sleep quality was associated with greater alcohol-related consequences in heavy drinkers.

    “Poorer sleep quality was associated with greater alcohol-related consequences in heavy drinkers (Kenney et al., 2012).”

  • Poor sleep relates to impairments in cognitive regulation and increases in health compromising behaviors such as substance use.

    “Insufficient sleep and poor quality sleep are pervasive during adolescence (Carskadon, 2011; Dahl and Lewin, 2002) and relate to impairments in cognitive regulation and increases in health compromising behaviors such as substance use (Hasler et al., 2012; Kenney et al., 2012; McKnight-Eily et al., 2011; O'Brien and Mindell, 2005).”

  • Self-reported sleep quality over the past month was associated with greater binge drinking and more alcohol-related consequences in a sample of 261 college students.

    “Self-reported sleep quality over the past month was associated with greater binge drinking and more alcohol-related consequences (e.g., “Had a fight, argument, or bad feelings with a friend”) in a sample of 261 college students (Kenney, LaBrie, Hummer, & Pham, 2012).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
