Alcohol, Degraded Sleep Related in Young Adults
-
Sleep and alcohol consumption in young adults seems to follow a "vicious cycle," as one observer called it. Young adults those who drink more go to bed later, sleep less, and have worse-quality sleep than those who drink less, and those who went to bed earlier and slept longer tended to drink less the next day, a study of drinking and sleeping habits in 21- to 29-year-olds found. Sleep is a potential factor that we could intervene on to really identify how to improve drinking behaviors among young adults.

@pinku The study analyzed the data using two sets of multilevel models: A linear model that looked at how each drinking predictor was associated with each sleep variable and a Poisson model to determine how sleep predicted next-day alcohol use.
