Abstract

Poor sleep is common in substance use disorders (SUDs) and is a risk factor for relapse. Within the context of a multicomponent, mindfulness-based sleep intervention that included mindfulness meditation (MM) for adolescent outpatients with SUDs (n = 55), this analysis assessed the contributions of MM practice intensity to gains in sleep quality and self-efficacy related to SUDs. Eighteen adolescents completed a 6-session study intervention and questionnaires on psychological distress, sleep quality, mindfulness practice, and substance use at baseline, 8, 20, and 60 weeks postentry. Program participation was associated with improvements in sleep and emotional distress, and reduced substance use. MM practice frequency correlated with increased sleep duration and improvement in self-efficacy about substance use. Increased sleep duration was associated with improvements in psychological distress, relapse resistance, and substance use-related problems. These findings suggest that sleep is an important therapeutic target in substance abusing adolescents and that MM may be a useful component to promote improved sleep.

  • Britton et al. found that as little as 5-10 min/day for 2-3 days/week increased self-reported sleep duration by more than an hour, but as practice times approached 30 min/day, sleep duration began to decrease and cortical arousal began to increase.

    “Britton et al.175 found that as little as 5–10 min/day for 2–3 days/week (<1 h/week) increased self-reported sleep duration by more than an hour, but that as practice times approached 30 min/day (>3 h/week), then sleep duration began to decrease (Fig. 2D) and cortical arousal began to increase (Fig. 2A–C).164”
  • In a small trial of 18 adolescent participants, a multicomponent sleep intervention based on sleep restriction, stimulus control, and mindfulness meditation reduced substance use, and increased sleep duration was associated with reductions in substance-related problems.

    “In a small trial (18 adolescent participants) of a multicomponent sleep intervention based on sleep restriction, stimulus control, and mindfulness meditation, participants reported reduced substance use. Increased sleep duration was associated with reductions in substance-related problems (Britton et al., 2010).”

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.
