Abstract

Background: Alcohol use among emerging adults is a public health concern, as it has been associated with numerous negative consequences. Poor sleep has repeatedly been associated with alcohol-related consequences in this age group, yet factors impacting this relationship and potential moderators remain largely unexplored.

Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to examine the indirect effect of poor sleep quality on alcohol-related consequences through alcohol craving and to determine whether depression moderates this association.

Methods: Emerging adults (N = 371, 56.9% White; 53.9% Male) were recruited through Prolific Academic. Participants answered questions related to alcohol use, alcohol-related consequences, alcohol craving, depression symptoms, and sleep habits.

Results: Bivariate correlations indicated there were significant positive associations between sleep quality, depression symptoms, alcohol craving, and alcohol-related consequences. There was an indirect effect of poor sleep quality on alcohol-related consequences through alcohol craving. Depression symptoms did not moderate this indirect effect.

Conclusion: These findings indicate that alcohol craving may be important to consider when investigating the relationship between poor sleep quality and alcohol-related consequences in emerging adult populations.

新兴成年人抑郁、睡眠质量、嗜酒和酒精相关后果之间的关系

背景：初出茅庐的成年人饮酒是一个公共卫生问题，因为它与许多负面后果有关。在这个年龄段，睡眠质量差与酒精相关的后果一再相关，但影响这种关系的因素和潜在的调节因素在很大程度上仍未被探索。目的：本研究的主要目的是研究睡眠质量差通过酒精渴望对酒精相关后果的间接影响，并确定抑郁是否会缓和这种关联。方法：新生成人(N = 371，白人56.9%；53.9%男性)通过高产学术招募。参与者回答了与酒精使用、酒精相关后果、酒精渴望、抑郁症状和睡眠习惯有关的问题。结果：双变量相关性表明，睡眠质量、抑郁症状、酒精渴望和酒精相关后果之间存在显著的正相关。睡眠质量差会间接影响酒精相关的后果，比如对酒精的渴望。抑郁症状并没有缓和这种间接影响。结论：这些发现表明，在调查新兴成年人群睡眠质量差和酒精相关后果之间的关系时，酒精渴望可能是重要的考虑因素。
