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.Citation:Miller MB, Curtis AF, Hall NA, et al. Daily associations between modifiable sleep behaviors and nighttime sleep among young adult drinkers with insomnia. J Clin Sleep Med. 2022;18(3):703–712.BRIEF SUMMARYCurrent Knowledge/Study Rationale: Research to date has not examined associations between modifiable sleep behaviors and nighttime sleep at the within-person level. This study is the first to test these associations using both self-reported (sleep diary) and objective (actigraphy) reports.Study Impact: Data provide empirical support for recommendations that young adult drinkers with insomnia prioritize a comfortable sleep environment, limit naps, and maintain a consistent wake time. In this sample of heavy drinkers, avoiding alcohol use before bedtime was associated with worse self-reported (but not objective) measures of sleep.INTRODUCTIONPoor sleep health is characterized by self-reported dissatisfaction with sleep, inappropriate sleep timing, inadequate sleep duration, low sleep efficiency, and sustained daytime sleepiness.1 The prevalence of poor sleep health ranges from 22%–60% in young adults.2,3 Unfortunately, heavy drinking seems to exacerbate sleep problems. For instance, young adults who engage in binge drinking report a higher prevalence of problems falling asleep than those who do not binge drink (for women, 65% vs 52%; for men, 55% vs 45%).4 In turn, poor sleep health has been associated with alcohol-related problems, resulting in a bidirectional cycle of poor sleep health and alcohol-related harm.3–6 This trend has broad implications for public health in the United States, where 3 out of 4 people aged 18–34 years (∼79%) report alcohol use in the past year and 2 out of 5 (∼42%) report binge drinking in the past month.7 Although causality cannot be established from these data, research has generally proposed a dose-response relationship between binge drinking and difficulty falling/staying asleep, and these associations persist after controlling for psychiatric symptoms (eg, posttraumatic stress, depression).4 However, the majority of research has focused on aggregate (between-person) associations, and it is unclear how daily behaviors impact nighttime sleep at the within-person level, particularly in young adults who also have chronic insomnia. Given the tendency for individuals with insomnia to believe that alcohol helps with sleep8—and the economic burden associated with both sleep and alcohol use disorders9,10—research examining the impact of modifiable sleep behaviors is especially important in this population.Sleep hygiene recommendations are behavioral and environmental instructions that aim to promote sleep onset, sleep maintenance, and sleep quality.11 Although they tend to be less effective than multicomponent treatments12,13 and are not recommended as a standalone treatment,14 clinicians in nonspecialized settings (eg, primary care) may provide sleep hygiene instructions for patients with sleep complaints.14,15 Sleep hygiene recommendations generally include avoiding naps, getting adequate exposure to daylight, exercising regularly, creating a comfortable bedroom environment, establishing a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoiding foods and substances that may disrupt sleep before bedtime (eg, heavy meals, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol).12,16 Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule (ie, regular bedtime/wake time) and managing stress are also sometimes included.12,16Investigations regarding the impact of each individual sleep hygiene recommendation are limited and inconsistent and have not been investigated in a drinking population. In a sample of adults with insomnia (ages 20–60 years), 3 sleep hygiene practices were found to be associated with future insomnia risk: evening smoking/nicotine use, nighttime noise disturbance, and an irregular sleep schedule.17 Improper sleep scheduling also emerged as a prospective correlate of insomnia risk among college students.18 Cross-sectional studies are similar in finding intuitive, albeit somewhat varied, sleep hygiene correlates of good sleep. In 1 study of adults (ages 18–64 years), those with insomnia reported more alcohol use and smoking before bedtime, more naps, and more variable wake times than good sleepers.19 In a sample of community-dwelling older adults (ages 60–96 years), poor sleepers only differed from good sleepers in weekly napping frequency, with poor sleepers reporting more frequent naps.20 However, in at least 1 study of middle-aged women (ages 41–55 years), those with chronic insomnia reported drinking less caffeine and alcohol and less-variable bedtimes than those without insomnia.21 Given the inconsistencies across these studies, the importance of various sleep hygiene recommendations seems unclear. However, all of these studies examined sleep behaviors at the between- (not within-) person level. That is to say, these studies could conclude that, on average, people who report more consistent sleep schedules seem to report better sleep than those with less consistent sleep schedules, but it is unclear whether any individual person reports significantly better/worse sleep after a day of variable sleep scheduling. No study has tested the daily, within-person associations between sleep hygiene practices and night time sleep. Such evaluations will inform clinical recommendations regarding the importance of various sleep hygiene recommendations at the individual level.This study aimed to build on previous research by examining within-person associations between the use of modifiable sleep behaviors and subsequent nighttime sleep at the daily level. Data were collected in a sample of young adult drinkers who met the criteria for insomnia disorder. Self-reported sleep quality was identified as a primary sleep outcome because self-reported sleep disturbance is a defining characteristic of insomnia. Self-reported sleep efficiency was also identified as a primary outcome because it is used to determine treatment progress in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I)22 and therefore may be regarded as 1 clinical indicator of sleep need. Actigraphy-based sleep efficiency was included to determine whether self-reported findings replicate using objective measures. In general, we hypothesized that engagement in recommended sleep behaviors would be positively associated with sleep outcomes. Given the dearth of research in this area, we did not make specific hypotheses about which sleep hygiene recommendations would be most effective.METHODSParticipants and procedureData were derived from the baseline (not treatment or outcome) portion of a randomized controlled trial examining the efficacy of CBT-I among heavy-drinking young adults with insomnia.23 Men and women between ages 18 and 30 years who reported drinking alcohol were recruited from a Midwestern college town in the United States (via flyers, university communications, Facebook, Instagram, and word of mouth) between August 2018 and June 2019. Interested participants completed a screening survey online from remote locations. Of the 143 participants who screened as eligible, 87 completed the baseline assessment. During the baseline assessment, participants provided informed consent and then completed a semi-structured clinical interview (the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition and a semi-structured clinical interview of sleep disorders) with a trained graduate student. The sleep disorder interview was derived from the clinical interview that the senior author (who is board certified in behavioral sleep medicine) has used to diagnose sleep disorders in clinical settings. Participants were assessed for circadian rhythm disorders (including those related to shift work), sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, periodic limb movement disorder, nonrapid eye movement sleep arousal disorders, nightmare disorder, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, narcolepsy, and other medical disorders (eg, seizures, chronic medical illnesses). Participants then completed baseline measures and 7–14 consecutive days of online sleep diaries while wearing actigraphy. Participants were asked to complete daily diaries (∼3-minute duration) online from remote locations every morning before noon. Anyone who had not completed their diary by noon received a reminder text or email from the research staff. Baseline diary reports were used to confirm the diagnosis of insomnia (ie, at least 3 nights of > 30 minutes sleep-onset latency or wake after sleep onset). The institutional review board approved all procedures.Eligible participants (1) were ages 18–30 years, (2) reported at least 1 binge-drinking episode (defined as 4+ alcoholic drinks for women and 5+ for men on a single occasion) in the past 30 days, and (3) met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition and research diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder (eg, > 30 minutes falling or staying asleep on 3+ nights per week for 3+ months, daytime impairment). Participants were excluded if they did not meet the criteria for insomnia (eg, symptoms did not meet the threshold for clinical diagnosis or sleep disturbance was better accounted for by a different sleep disorder; n = 9); denied binge drinking in the past 30 days at baseline (n = 4); had initiated a new sleep medication that might interfere with treatment effects in the past 6 weeks at baseline (n = 1); reported a history of mania or seizure disorder, for which the sleep restriction component of CBT-I is contraindicated (n = 2); or met criteria for a different sleep (n = 6) or psychiatric disorder (n = 9) requiring immediate clinical attention. No participants reported current treatment for insomnia or alcohol use, which were also exclusion criteria. Fifty-six participants met all the inclusion criteria.MeasuresCovariatesSex, current college enrollment, weekend vs weekday, insomnia severity, and drinking quantity were included as covariates in all models. Sex was included as a covariate based on sex differences in the prevalence of both insomnia24 and heavy drinking.25 Current college enrollment was included because binge and high-intensity drinking tends to be more common among college students than among noncollege-attending young adults,26 and we controlled for the effect of weekends because young adults tend to drink27 and sleep28 more on weekends than on weekdays. Insomnia severity and drinking quantity were included to control for between-person differences in these variables at baseline.To assess insomnia severity, participants completed the Insomnia Severity Index, which is a 7-item measure that has been validated in identifying insomnia in community and clinical samples.29 Notably, the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview has also shown reliability and validity in the diagnosis of mental health disorders among adults.30Daily diary reports were used to assess drinking quantity. Specifically, participants reported the number of standard drinks of alcohol consumed each day. A standard drink was defined as 12 oz regular beer (∼5% alcohol), 8–9 oz malt liquor (∼7% alcohol), 5 oz table wine (∼12% alcohol), 3–4 oz fortified wine (∼17% alcohol), 2–3 oz liqueur (∼24% alcohol), 1.5 oz brandy (∼40% alcohol), and 1.5 oz 80-proof spirits (∼40% alcohol).Sleep hygieneUsing daily diary reports, we coded participant engagement in 11 recommended sleep hygiene practices: (1) maintaining a consistent wake time, defined as within 30 minutes of one’s median waketime; (2) limiting naps to 30 minutes; (3) doing something routine or relaxing in the 30 minutes before bedtime; (4) avoiding bright lights in the 30 minutes before bedtime; (5) engaging in 30+ minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity; (6) avoiding nicotine in the 2 hours before bedtime; (7) avoiding alcohol use in the 2 hours before bedtime; (8) avoiding caffeine after noon; (9) limiting caffeine to a maximum of 3 doses per day; (10) avoiding heavy meals within 2 hours of bedtime; and (11) going to bed in a comfortable sleep environment (rated as “good” or “very good”). These behaviors were coded as “sleep hygiene” practices because they are listed as such in various studies12,16,17 and on the National Sleep Foundation’s website ( https://www.thensf.org). The wording of each diary item, response options, and criteria for coding each response as “engagement” (vs “nonengagement”) is depicted in Table 1.Table 1 Daily diary sleep hygiene items, responses, and coding.RecommendationSurvey ItemResponse OptionsCriteria for “Engagement”1Wake timeWhat time was your final awakening?[open]Within 30 minutes of median wake time2NapsHow long did you nap yesterday?[open]Duration ≤ 30 minutes3Bedtime routineDid you do something routine or relaxing in the 30 minutes before bedtime yesterday?Yes/noResponded “yes”4Bright lightsDid you avoid bright light in the 30 minutes before bedtime yesterday?Yes/noResponded “yes”5ExerciseDid you engage in 30+ minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity yesterday?Yes/noResponded “yes”6NicotineAt approximately what time did you finish your last cigarette yesterday?[open]2+ hours before bedtime7AlcoholAt approximately what time did you finish your last alcoholic drink yesterday?[open]2+ hours before bedtime8Caffeine timingAt approximately what time did you finish your last caffeinated drink yesterday?[open]Before 12 PM9Caffeine doseHow many doses of caffeine (1 oz espresso, 8 oz coffee, 12 oz soda) did you have yesterday?[open]Quantity ≤ 310Heavy mealsDid you have a heavy meal within 2 hours of bedtime yesterday?Yes/noResponded “no”11EnvironmentPlease rate the quality of last night’s sleep environment (eg, temperature, darkness, noise level of the place where you slept)0 (very poor) to 4 (very good)Rated as “good” or “very good”All sleep hygiene items were recoded as yes/no (coded 1 for “engagement” and 0 for “nonengagement”) in analyses so that the effect size of each behavior could be compared.Sleep outcomesIn daily sleep diaries, participants estimated what time they got into bed, what time they attempted to fall asleep, how long it took them to fall asleep, the total duration of nighttime awakenings, the time of their final awakening, and what time they got out of bed for the day. Nightly sleep efficiency was calculated by dividing the amount of time actually spent sleeping by the amount of time spent in bed. Participants also rated their self-reported sleep quality on a scale from 0 (very poor) to 4 (very good).Participants also wore the Actiwatch Spectrum Plus (Philips Respironics, Murrysville, PA) during the baseline period to provide an objective measure of sleep efficiency. Actigraphy data were analyzed using medium sensitivity settings and 30-second epochs. Consistent with actigraphy scoring and interpretation guidelines,31 self-reported start/end times for the sleep period were used when there was a discrepancy between self-reported and actigraphy-generated start/end times because actigraphy is less reliable in estimating these values for individuals with insomnia. The automated actigraphy algorithm was then used to estimate sleep efficiency.Data screening and analysisParticipants completed an average of 8.5 diaries (standard deviation = 2.3; range = 1–15), resulting in 477 data points. Multilevel modeling was used to account for the repeated clustering of assessments within individuals. Data for self-report variables were missing on < 0.1% of data points. Actigraphy data were unavailable or uninterpretable for 7 participants; therefore, actigraphy analyses included 49 participants and 307 data points. All available data were utilized.Analyses were conducted in IBM SPSS Statistics 26 (Armonk, NY). Unconditional models, which included only the random intercept and repeated effects of time, were conducted to determine the intraclass correlation coefficient for each outcome. Intraclass correlation coefficients indicated that 22% of the variance in sleep quality, 34% of variance in self-reported sleep efficiency, and 31% of variance in actigraphy sleep efficiency occurred between individuals (at level 2, denoted L2). The remaining variance occurred within individuals over time (at level 1, denoted L1).Outcome models for sleep quality, self-reported sleep efficiency, and actigraphy sleep efficiency were conducted separately, and a Bonferroni adjustment was used to control for inflation in type I error (α = .05/3 = .017). All models controlled for sex (0 = female, 1 = male), current college enrollment (0 = noncollege, 1 = college), weekend vs weekday (0 = Sunday to Thursday, 1 = Friday or Saturday), insomnia severity, daily drinking quantity at the within- and between-person levels (L1 and L2, respectively), and between-person (L2) indicators of each sleep behavior. Level 2 sleep behaviors were calculated as the percentage engagement with each sleep hygiene recommendation across the entire baseline period. Level 1 sleep behaviors were coded as 1 (engagement) or 0 (nonengagement) for each day. Continuous level 1 variables were centered by person means, and continuous level 2 variables were centered by grand means.32 Intercepts were specified as random to allow for individual differences in the baseline levels of each outcome, and slopes were random to allow for within-person changes in variables over time. An autoregressive covariance structure (assuming smaller correlations with increased distance in time) was specified for repeated effects. Because all level 1 sleep behavior recommendations were coded on the same scale, regression coefficients could be used to estimate comparative effect sizes (ie, the amount of change in the outcome associated with engagement vs nonengagement).RESULTSSample characteristicsParticipants were 56 young adults with an average age of 22.4 years (standard deviation = 2.7; range = 18–30 years). Forty-two (75%) were women, and 41 (73%) were college students. Their racial/ethnic backgrounds were as follows: 46 (82%) non-Hispanic White, 5 (9%) multiracial, 3 (5%) Black, 1 (2%) Native American or Native Alaskan, and 2 (4%) Hispanic or Latino/a/x. The majority (n = 32; 57%) reported living in a house or apartment with friends or roommates; however, 8 (14%) lived alone, 8 (14%) lived with family or a spouse, 6 (11%) lived in a fraternity/sorority house, and 2 (4%) lived in a dormitory or other campus housing.Participants reported an average insomnia severity score of 16.2 (standard deviation = 3.5; range = 10–26). Eighteen participants (32%) reported the use of sleep medication; specifically, melatonin (n = 12; 21%), diphenhydramine (n = 7; 13%), doxylamine (n = 2; 4%), Aleve PM (n = 1; 2%), and trazodone (n = 1; 2%). Two participants (4%) reported the use of multiple sleep medications.

Forty-seven participants (84%) met the criteria for alcohol use disorder, although the majority (n = 28; 60%) were mild and few (n = 5; 11%) were severe. Five participants (9%) also met the criteria for another substance use disorder (all cannabis use disorder), all of which were mild (n = 1; 20%) or moderate (n = 4; 80%). In baseline diary reports, 7 participants (13%) reported cigarette use, 19 (34%) reported cannabis use, 54 (96%) reported caffeine use, and 55 (98%) reported alcohol use. Seven participants (13%) reported the use of alcohol as a sleep aid and 9 (16%) reported the use of cannabis as a sleep aid. Finally, 23 participants (41%) endorsed at least moderate symptoms of depression on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (score 10+),33 and 18 (32%) screened positive for moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (score 10+).34Outcome modelsInferential statistics for each outcome are presented in Table 3. Given the number of variables included in each model, level 2 sleep behaviors (percentage engagement with each sleep recommendation across the entire baseline period) were omitted from Table 3.Table 3 Associations between sleep behaviors and same-night sleep parameters (n = 56; 477 reports).ParameterSleep Quality (Self-Report)Sleep Efficiency (Self-Report)Sleep Efficiency (Actigraphy)EstimateP Value95% CIEstimateP Value95% CIEstimateP Value95% CIIntercept1.62< .0010.77–2.4886.83< .00177.27–96.3981.70< .00167.48–95.92L2 sex (male coded 1)–0.25.08–0.54 to 0.030.66.68–2.52 to 3.85–3.28.14–7.64 to 1.07L2 college (student coded 1)0.09.57–0.21 to 0.384.65.0061.40–8.04–5.50.008–9.50 to –1.49L2 drinking quantity (GMC)–0.08.28–0.22 to 0.060.44.58–1.13 to 2.010.33.75–1.74 to 2.40L2 insomnia severity (GMC)–0.05.008–0.08 to –0.01–0.38.07–0.78 to 0.02–0.39.14–0.91 to 0.13L2 SB variables omitted L1 drinking quantity (PMC)–0.03.13–0.06 to 0.010.24.21–0.13 to 0.610.100.65–0.34 to 0.55 L1 weekend (yes coded 1)0.25.0060.07–0.440.95.35–1.06 to 2.951.44.25–1.04 to 3.91 SB1: consistent wake time0.19.0170.04–0.35–0.33.72–2.12 to 1.46–2.24.05–4.48 to –0.001 SB2: limit naps0.32.0050.10–0.542.22.08–0.28 to 4.721.36.41–1.87 to 4.59 SB3: bedtime routine0.17.11–0.04 to 0.380.99.41–1.36 to 3.342.31.13–0.67 to 5.30 SB4: avoid bright light .25–0.08 to 0.330.56.64–1.78 to 2.91–0.21.88–3.09 to 2.66 SB5: exercise0.07.49–0.13 to 0.280.02.99–2.29 to 2.32–1.96.16–4.71 to 0.78 SB6: avoid nicotine0.18.59–0.48 to 0.84–0.72.85–8.12 to 6.68–6.27.32–18.64 to 6.10 SB7: avoid alcohol–0.39.001–0.63 to –0.15–3.96.004–6.63 to –1.28–0.39.82–3.85 to 3.06 SB8: no caffeine after 12 pm0.01.95–0.19 to 0.20–2.07.07–4.31 to 0.16–0.60.68–3.44 to 2.23 SB9: < 3 doses of caffeine–0.37.07–0.76 to 0.02–1.98.39–6.49 to 2.545.70.030.51–10.89 SB10: avoid heavy meals–0.17.09–0.36 to 0.03–0.30.79–2.52 to 1.931.72.23–1.07 to 4.52 SB11: sleep environment0.50< .0010.30–0.703.11.0080.82–5.41–1.30.35–4.02 to 1.42Bold variables are considered significant (P ≤ .017). All sleep hygiene variables were coded as 1 (engagement) or 0 (nonengagement). CI = 95% confidence interval, GMC = grand-mean centered, L1 = level 1 (daily within-person) effects, L2 = level 2 (between-person) effects, PMC = person-mean centered, SB = sleep behavior at level 1.After controlling for all other modifiable sleep behaviors within the model, we found that 4 sleep behaviors were significantly associated with same-night sleep quality at the within-person level: participants reported significantly better sleep quality on nights that they slept in a comfortable environment (B = 0.50), limited naps (B = 0.32), and maintained a consistent wake time (B = 0.19). They also reported better sleep quality on weekends than on weekdays (B = 0.25). However, participants reported worse sleep quality on nights that they avoided alcohol use before bedtime (B = –0.39). At the between-person level, individuals reporting more-severe insomnia reported worse sleep quality than those reporting less-severe insomnia (B = –0.05). Participants reporting more-consistent wake times (B = –0.94; P = .017; 95% confidence interval, –1.71 to –0.17) and those who more consistently avoided nicotine use before bedtime (B = –1.59; P = .010; 95% confidence interval, –2.80 to –0.38) also tended to report worse sleep quality than those reporting less consistent wake times and those who used nicotine before bed, respectively. (The L2 [between-person] association between nicotine use at bedtime and sleep quality was no longer significant when controlling for smoking status [yes/no use of cigarettes]). After correcting for inflation in type I error, sleep quality did not differ significantly as a function of any other variable. As indicated by the regression coefficients, sleeping in a comfortable environment was the strongest within-person correlate of same-day sleep quality in this model.Two sleep behaviors were significantly associated with self-reported sleep efficiency at the within-person level (see Table 3). Again, participants reported significantly better sleep efficiency on nights that they slept in a comfortable environment (B = 3.11) and worse self-reported sleep efficiency on nights that they avoided alcohol use before bedtime (B = –3.96). College students also self-reported better sleep efficiency than noncollege participants (B = 4.73). There were no other within- or between-person correlates of self-reported sleep efficiency.No sleep behavior was significantly associated with actigraphy-measured sleep efficiency at the daily level (see Table 3). In contrast to self-reported models, college students reported worse actigraphy-measured sleep efficiency than participants not in college (B = –5.50).DISCUSSIONWe found empirical support for recommendations that young adult drinkers with insomnia prioritize a comfortable sleep environment, limit naps, and maintain a consistent wake time. Notably, these associations were found within persons (individuals experienced better sleep quality on nights that they slept in a comfortable environment) as opposed to between persons (if we had found that individuals who had comfortable sleep environments reported better sleep quality than individuals who had uncomfortable sleep environments). This extends the previous research on the importance of sleep hygiene recommendations,17–21 which has been conducted primarily at the between-person level. Understanding of the day-level behaviors associated with better nighttime sleep is especially important in this population because young adults are unlikely to seek professional help35 and their problems with sleep and alcohol use are likely to exacerbate one another.3–6 Specifically, moderate to heavy doses of alcohol may impact sleep physiology,6 and poor sleep health may compound the risk for alcohol-related harm.5 Thus, identifying" @default.
