Daily associations between modifiable sleep behaviors and nighttime sleep among young adult drinkers with insomnia.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

Empirical evidence linking individual sleep hygiene practices to subsequent sleep parameters is limited, particularly at the daily level. This study compared the strength of daily, within-person associations between these modifiable sleep behaviors and nighttime sleep in young adult drinkers with insomnia.

Methods

Young adults (ages 18-30 years; n = 56) who met diagnostic criteria for insomnia and reported past-month binge drinking wore wrist actigraphy and completed online sleep diaries for 8.5 days (standard deviation = 2.3; 477 reports). Diaries assessed engagement in 11 sleep hygiene recommendations. Multilevel models tested daily associations between sleep behaviors and 3 outcomes: sleep quality, self-reported sleep efficiency, and actigraphy-measured sleep efficiency.

Results

Participants self-reported better sleep quality/efficiency on days that they slept in a comfortable environment, limited naps to 30 minutes, and maintained a consistent wake time. They self-reported worse sleep quality and efficiency on nights that they avoided alcohol use before bedtime. No sleep behaviors were significantly associated with actigraphy-measured sleep efficiency after correcting for inflation in type I error.

Conclusions

The sleep hygiene recommendations most strongly associated with sleep at the daily level were consistent with stimulus control. Creating a comfortable sleep environment also emerged as an important correlate of daily sleep. Heavy drinkers with insomnia may perceive better sleep if they drink before bedtime; however, this finding may be unique to this population.

Project description:Study objectivesExamine bidirectional associations between daytime napping and nighttime sleep among pregnant individuals with insomnia disorder.MethodsWe used baseline data from a randomized controlled trial of insomnia treatment during pregnancy (n = 116). Participants in their second or third trimester of pregnancy self-reported daytime napping and nighttime sleep parameters using a sleep diary and wore an Actiwatch-2 during the same 7-day period. Linear regression models, accounting for intraindividual correlation, were used to estimate associations between daytime napping and nighttime sleep parameters (duration, efficiency, quality, awakenings). Models were also stratified by trimester of pregnancy.ResultsSixty-three percent of participants reported napping on at least 1 day. Among participants in the second trimester (65%), napping 15-59 minutes was associated with 6.3% greater self-reported sleep efficiency (95% confidence interval: 2.3, 10.2) and 0.5 units greater self-reported sleep quality (95% confidence interval: 0.0, 0.9) that night; napping 60+ minutes was associated with 0.6 hours shorter actigraphy-measured sleep duration (95% confidence interval: -1.0, -0.2). Napping was not associated with nighttime sleep overall or during the third trimester. Nighttime sleep parameters were not associated with napping duration the following day.ConclusionsAmong pregnant individuals with insomnia in the second trimester, short napping duration was associated with higher self-reported sleep efficiency and quality; long napping duration was associated with shorter actigraphy-measured sleep duration. Additional research is needed to examine the interaction between nap duration and nap timing. In the future, these results may lead to more nuanced recommendations for daytime napping among pregnant individuals with insomnia disorder.Clinical trial registrationRegistry: ClinicalTrials.gov; Name: Treatment for Insomnia during Pregnancy; URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01846585; Identifier: NCT01846585.CitationBadon SE, Dietch R, Simpson N, Lyell DJ, Manber R.

Project description:AimsTheory-driven, exploratory study to: (i) identify a reward drinking phenotype in young adults; (ii) evaluate this phenotype as a predictor of naltrexone response; and (iii) examine mechanisms of naltrexone in reward drinkers.DesignSecondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.SettingUSA.ParticipantsA total of 128 young adult (ages 18-25) heavy drinkers.InterventionsNaltrexone versus placebo.MeasurementsDaily surveys assessed affect, urge, drinking, and context. The Drinking Motives Questionnaire was used to identify phenotypes based on reward (enhancement motives) and relief (coping motives) drinking.FindingsWe identified three profiles: "Low reward/Low relief" (14.1%; low enhancement/low coping motives); "Reward drinkers" (62.2%; high enhancement/low coping motives); and "High reward/High relief" (22.7%; high enhancement/high coping motives). Among reward drinkers (versus low profile), naltrexone significantly reduced percent days drinking to intoxication (blood alcohol concentration [BAC] ≥0.08) (PDI) (d = 0.56; 95% CI [0.17, 0.96]) and percent high intensity drinking days (PHID) (8/10 drinks for women/men) (d = 0.32; 95% CI [0.01, 0.68]). Among the high reward/high relief profile drinkers (versus low profile), naltrexone reduced PHID (d = 0.69; 95% CI [0.02, 1.50]). Using profile-informed cutoffs and observed scores (for clinical applicability): (i) among cutoff-derived reward drinkers, we found a medium-to-large (d = 0.66; 95% CI [0.24, 1.16]) and small effect (d = 0.28; 95% CI [0.04, 0.72]) of naltrexone in reducing PDI and PHID, respectively; and (ii) among the cutoff-derived high reward/high relief subgroup, we found a medium-to-large effect (d = 0.63; 95% CI [0.05, 1.1]) of naltrexone in reducing PHID. Among reward drinkers (not other profiles), naltrexone reduced drinking on days a drinking event occurred by weakening the within-day association between positive affect and urges (P < 0.05).ConclusionsNaltrexone has pronounced effects in reducing risky drinking among young adult reward drinkers (high reward/low relief) by reducing urges on days when individuals have higher positive affect and are exposed to a drinking event. Naltrexone also appears to reduce risky drinking among young adult high reward/high relief drinkers, but not via the same mechanism.
