Childhood Sleep Problems, Response Inhibition, and Alcohol and Drug Outcomes in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: To our knowledge, no prospective studies examine the relationships among childhood sleep problems, adolescent executive functioning, and substance outcomes (i.e., substance use and substance-related problems). In this study, we examined whether childhood sleep problems predicted adolescent sleep problems and response inhibition. We also tested whether adolescent sleep problems and poor response inhibition mediated the relationship between childhood sleep problems and substance (alcohol and drug) outcomes in young adulthood. METHODS: Study participants were 292 boys and 94 girls (M = 4.85, SD = 1.47) from a community sample of high-risk families and controls. RESULTS: When compared to their counterparts, those with trouble sleeping in childhood were twice as likely to have the same problem in adolescence. Childhood overtiredness predicted poor response inhibition in adolescence. Persistent trouble sleeping from childhood to adolescence and response inhibition in adolescence mediated the relationship between childhood sleep problems and drug outcomes in young adulthood, whereas overtiredness in childhood directly predicted alcohol use outcomes and alcohol-related problems in young adulthood. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study showing a long-term relationship between childhood sleep measures and subsequent alcohol and drug outcomes. The developmental and clinical implications of these findings were discussed. Prevention and intervention programs may want to consider the role of sleep problems and response inhibition on substance use and abuse.

“In contrast, depression and anxiety symptoms during late childhood (age 9–11) did not significantly account for variance in the association between sleep and alcohol problems.”

In the citing paper
“Wong and colleagues (Wong, Brower, Fitzgerald, & Zucker, 2004; Wong, Brower, Nigg, & Zucker, 2010) have reported that parent-rated childhood sleep problems, assessed between ages 3 and 8, and including “trouble sleeping” and “overtiredness”, predict alcohol problems during early adolescence (12–14 years) and late adolescence/young adulthood (18–20 years).”
From Sleep and circadian contributions to adolescent alcohol use disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Wong et al., 2010
In the citing paper
“Adolescent sleep problems were a risk factor for problems with other drugs.”
From Sleep and circadian contributions to adolescent alcohol use disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Wong et al., 2010
In the citing paper
“Interestingly, self-reported sleep problems during adolescence per se did not predict later alcohol outcomes over and above the effect of childhood sleep.”
From Sleep and circadian contributions to adolescent alcohol use disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Wong et al., 2010
In the citing paper
“The authors also investigated potential mediators of these associations, reporting that response inhibition (based on a behavioral task) during adolescence statistically mediated the relationship between childhood sleep problems and young-adult alcohol problems.”
From Sleep and circadian contributions to adolescent alcohol use disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Wong et al., 2010
In the citing paper
“A behavioral measure of impulsivity, response inhibition, evaluated during adolescence (12–14 years) mediated the relationship between parent-rated sleep problems in childhood (3–8 years) and alcohol problems in young adulthood (18–20 years) (Wong et al., 2010).”
From Sleep and circadian contributions to adolescent alcohol use disorder (2015) · cites this paper as Wong et al., 2010

“Childhood sleep difficulties, represented by “overtiredness”, predicted deficits in response to a response inhibition task (Wong 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.
