Data was analyzed from adult respondents of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2008 (� = 2919) using self-reported variables for sleepiness, sleep duration, and alcohol consumption (quantity and frequency of alcohol use). A heavy drinking episode was deined as the consumption of ≥5 standard alcoholic beverages in a day. Logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic variables and insomnia covariates were used to evaluate the relationship between daytime sleepiness and an interaction of alcohol consumption variables with sleep duration. he results showed that daytime sleepiness was reported by 15.07% of the subjects. In univariate analyses adjusted for covariates, an increased probability of daytime sleepiness was predicted by decreased log drinks per day [OR = 0.74 (95% CI, 0.58–0.95)], a decreased log drinking frequency [0.90 (95% CI, 0.83–0.98)], and lower sleep duration [OR = 0.75 (95% CI, 0.67–0.84)]. An interaction between decreased sleep duration and an increased log heavy drinking frequency predicted increased daytime sleepiness (� = 0.004). hus, the efect of sleep duration should be considered when evaluating the relationship between daytime sleepiness and heavy drinking. 1. Introduction Daytime sleepiness is highly prevalent. 19.5% of Americans sufer from moderate sleepiness and 11% sufer from severe sleepiness [1]. hese prevalence rates are of concern given that daytime sleepiness afects nearly every aspect of human functioning and is a substantial risk factor for accidents and injuries [2]. he combination of daytime sleepiness and atrisk vocations vulnerable to such negative efects magniies the risk for adverse outcomes of accidents, for example, sleepiness in truck drivers, airline pilots, medical personnel, mass transit operators, and so forth [3]. he perils associated with these conditions underscore the need to identify factors that may serve to aggravate sleepiness, or may serve as vulnerability for sleepiness. One such condition may be the use of or the abuse of alcohol. To date, some studies have been undertaken to evaluate the relationship between daytime sleepiness and alcohol consumption. he outcomes from these studies were inconsistent. Acute drinking episodes were found to be associated with complaints of sleepiness (as a component of hangover symptoms) [4] and an acute impairment in objective measures of lying the following day (ater an acute drinking episode) [5]. In contrast, increased alcohol consumption 2 (>7 drinks per week) has been shown to be associated with a decreased likelihood of excessive daytime sleepiness in the elderly [6]. hese studies difered in several ways, including the following: the duration of alcohol use (i.e., acute versus chronic use), the age of the cohort studied, and the sleep duration immediately prior to the study (or the typical total sleep duration). he last of these issues is the role of sleep duration, which is particularly important as an increased consumption of alcohol has been independently associated with short sleep duration in some prior epidemiological studies [7–9]. Sleep duration has been investigated as a moderator in this relationship between alcohol consumption and sleepiness in a few laboratory-based studies. Some of these studies involved paradigms with partial sleep restriction and some with sleep extension (longer than typical ad lib sleep). In the partial sleep deprivation studies, Rupp and colleagues found that nocturnal alcohol consumption prior to bedtime and in conjunction with a partial sleep restriction increased the sleepiness at night (as compared to those who did not consume alcohol) [10]. Roehrs and colleagues found that despite an increase in the sleep latency on the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) with partial sleep deprivation and moderate nocturnal alcohol consumption, no interaction between alcohol consumption and sleep deprivation was seen [11]. Similarly, a study by Horne and colleagues failed to show a diference in daytime sleepiness in the sleep-deprived conditions, with or without aternoon alcohol consumption, by using a diferent paradigm [12]. In the sleep extension studies, Lumley and colleagues found no diferences in objective sleepiness on MSLT in subjects with an 11-hour total time in bed and morning alcohol consumption (as compared to normal sleep or partial sleep deprivation conditions) [13]. In another study, Roehrs and colleagues found that sleep extension with a 10-hour time in bed and morning alcohol consumption showed a decreased objectively measured sleepiness with a MSLT test [14]. As can be seen from the above summary, the data to date are mixed. If trends are evident it appears that heavy alcohol consumption is associated with shorter sleep durations, and objective daytime sleepiness may be associated with acute alcohol use/alcohol abuse in association with sleep deprivation. hese indings must be considered tentative, as there are only a few studies with mixed results, and the alcohol measures are not well operationalized. With respect to the alcohol measures, the variables used rarely allow for a comprehensive assessment that takes into account dose (amount of alcohol per occasion), use frequency (number of occasions using alcohol per day or week), and use in the hazardous range (the presence of heavy drinking, and the frequency of heavy drinking as deined as the use of ≥5 drinks per session) [15, 16]. Accordingly, using a nationally representative sample, we explored the interactions between self-reported alcohol consumption and sleep duration variables and their association to daytime sleepiness while controlling for covariates and symptoms related to several intrinsic sleep disorders. Sleep Disorders 2. Methods 2.1. Design and Setting. his investigation utilized the 20072008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). his annual survey, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, assesses the demographic, health, and nutritional characteristics in the US population through in-person interviews, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. he unweighted response rate for the overall sample was 78.4%. In order to compensate for underrepresentation, African Americans, Hispanics, and adults over 60 were over-sampled [17]. 2.2. Sample Size. Out of the initial participants (� = 10,149), we excluded children and adolescents <18 years of age (� = 3921), those with a lifetime history of drug use (� = 1896), those without response to outcome variables (� = 21), and those missing data on predictor variables (� = 1079), and covariates (� = 313). he inal sample consisted of 2919 subjects. Drug use history was assessed for any lifetime use of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, or illicit opiates individually; the response was coded dichotomously as “yes”/ “no.’’ 2.3. Measures 2.3.1. Sleep. (a) Daytime sleepiness (DS) was assessed with the question, “In the past month, how oten did you feel excessively or overly sleepy during the day?” (b) Sleep Duration (SD) was investigated with the question, “How much sleep do you usually get at night on weekdays or workdays?” his question was similar to that used in prior studies [18, 19]. (c) Insomnia symptoms: (i) diiculty falling asleep (DFA) was assessed using the question “In the past month, how oten did you have trouble falling asleep?” (ii) diiculty maintaining sleep (AWAK) was assessed with the question “In the past month, how oten did you wake up during the night and had trouble getting back to sleep?” (iii) Nonrestorative sleep (NRS) was evaluated with the question,“In the past month, how oten did you feel unrested during the day, no matter how many hours of sleep you have had?” he responses to the DS, SL, AWAK, and SQ variables were presented with the following severity options: “0” (never), “1” (rarely: 1 time/ month), “2” (sometimes: 2–4 times/month), “3” (oten: 5–15 times/month), and “4” (almost always: 16–30 times/month). he response to the SD variable was recorded as a number, rounded to the nearest decimal point and was assessed as a continuous variable. 2.3.2. Alcohol-Related Variables. he quantity of alcohol in a drink was evaluated in terms of a standard alcoholic drink [20]. he alcohol consumption variables used in this investigation were in line with those used in prior studies, and included the following [16, 21]: (a) drinks/day: this variable was assessed with “In the past 12 months, on those days that you drank alcoholic beverages, on an average, how many drinks did you have?” (b) drinking frequency was investigated using the question “In the past 12 months, how oten did you drink any type of alcoholic beverage?” (c) heavy drinking status was assessed using the question Sleep Disorders 3 “In the past 12 months, on how many days did you have 5 or more drinks of any alcoholic beverage?” (d) heavy drinking frequency was evaluated using the question, “In the past 12 months, on how many days did you have 5 or more drinks of any alcoholic beverage?” Drinks/day, drinking frequency and binge-drinking frequency were recorded continuously as number of days. Heavy drinking status was recorded dichotomously, as “present” or “absent.’’ (StataCorp LP, Stata Statistical Sotware: Release 12. College Station, TX). 2.3.3. Covariates. he variables included in these analyses included, age, gender, race/ethnicity (White, Black/African American, Hispanic, and other), marital status, education, income, body mass index (BMI; objectively measured), depression (over past two weeks), anxiety (days anxious in past month), access to health insurance, physical health, mental health, exercise, and smoking (smoking days in past month). All the above-mentioned questions were assessed as part of the NHANES interview with the responses being selfreported by the subjects. 3.2. Sleep-Related Characteristics. Daytime sleepiness was reported by 15.07% of the subjects. he mean (SD) sleep duration was 6.91 (SD = 1.36) hours. Amongst them, 56.72% had sleep duration within the normal range (7-8 hours a night), 36.12% had short sleep duration (≤6 hours a night), and 7.16% had long sleep duration (≥8 hours a night), with nonrestorative sleep being the commonest insomnia symptom (22.32%), Table 1. 2.4. Statistical Analysis. Two-year full sample weights were used to adjust for unequal probability of being selected among noncoverage or nonresponse population, as recommended [17]. Daytime sleepiness was assessed with the question, “In the past month, how oten did you feel excessively or overly sleepy during the day?” Daytime sleepiness was assessed as a dichotomous variable (“presence” or “absence” of daytime sleepiness) based on the distribution of the response. he sleep duration was assessed as a continuous variable. Alcohol consumption was assessed using four variables, including, drinks/day, drinking frequency, heavy drinking status, and heavy drinking frequency. Heavy drinking status was assessed as a dichotomous variable (“presence” or “absence” of heavy drinking). he remaining 3 alcohol variables were assessed as continuous variables, drinks/day, drinking frequency, and heavy drinking frequency. Log� transformation was conducted for the variables including, drinks/day, drinking frequency, and heavy drinking frequency because of the skewness in the data, prior to the bivariate and multivariable analyses. Some of the covariates were dichotomized because of the skewed distribution and included insomnia variables (reporting a complaint ≥5 times a month/<5 times a month), depression, and anxiety symptoms (symptoms <15 days/≥15 days over last month). he relationships between daytime sleepiness (dependent variable) and alcohol consumption variables were assessed using multinomial logistic regression analyses. his relationship was assessed using three diferent models to adjust for covariates. Model 1 assessed the crude relationship between daytime sleepiness and the alcohol consumption variables or sleep duration. Model 2 assessed the relationship in model 1, adjusted for the covariates mentioned above. Model 3 assessed for this relationship in Model 2, further adjusted for insomnia symptoms. Interactive models evaluated for the presence of 2-way interactions, of whether the efects of one alcohol consumption variable depended on levels of a second category, that is, the sleep duration in predicting daytime sleepiness. Analyses were conducted using Stata version 12 3. Results 3.1. Subjects. he average subject in this study which was middle-aged female, college graduate, who identiied herself as of Caucasian race, non-Hispanic in ethnicity, married, was overweight and had health insurance, Table 1. 3.3. Alcohol Consumption. he average subject reported an alcohol consumption in the moderate range with a mean (SD) alcohol consumption of 1.25 (SD = 2.28) drinks per day within the last 12 months. Amongst those drinking alcohol in the past 12 months, 9.77% of the respondents reported heavy drinking (≥5 drinks a day), and with a heavy drinking frequency of 4.23 (SD = 27.18) days of over the last 12 months, Table 1. 3.4. he Relationship of Daytime Sleepiness with Alcohol Consumption and Sleep Duration 3.4.1. Alcohol Consumption. Subjects with daytime sleepiness reported lower alcohol consumption as compared to those without daytime sleepiness (0.99 ± 1.65 drinks and 1.29 ± 2.38 drinks resp., � = 0.002). In analyses adjusted for sociodemographic variables and insomnia covariates, a decreased risk of daytime sleepiness was predicted by log drinks per day, that is, each percent increase in the number of alcoholic drinks per day [OR = 0.74 (95% CI, 0.58–0.95), � = 0.019]. A similar relationship of a decreased risk of daytime sleepiness was seen with increased log drinking frequency, that is, each percent increase in the frequency of drinking and with nonsigniicant trends for log binge-drinking frequency predicting a lower risk of daytime sleepiness, Table 2. 3.4.2. Sleep Duration. hose with daytime sleepiness reported a lower sleep duration as compared to those without daytime sleepiness (6.38 ± 1.63 hours and 7.00 ± 1.28 hours, resp., � < 0.0001). In analyses adjusted for sociodemographic variables and insomnia covariates, a decreased probability of daytime sleepiness was predicted by higher sleep duration [OR = 0.75 (95% CI, 0.67–0.84), � < 0.001], Table 2. 3.5. Interactions between Alcohol Consumption and Sleep Duration on Daytime Sleepiness. In models adjusted for covariates, an interaction between a decreased sleep duration and an increased log frequency of binge-drinking predicted increased daytime sleepiness (� = 0.004), such that with each percent increase in the binge-drinking frequency and 4 Sleep Disorders Table 1: Baseline demographics.

In this study, we explored this relationship using data from the 2007-2008 NHANES survey using self-reported measures. In univariate analyses, the presence of daytime sleepiness was inversely associated with the drinks per day, drinking frequency, and sleep duration. In the inal model adjusted for covariates, an interaction between heavy drinking frequency and sleep duration predicted daytime sleepiness, such that an increased probability of daytime sleepiness was reported with each percent increase in the frequency of heavy drinking and a decrease in the sleep duration (in hours). Short sleep duration has been linked with heavy alcohol consumption on one hand [7–9] and with daytime drowsiness on the other hand [22, 23]. Heavy alcohol consumption has been linked with next day symptoms of tiredness [24], and with an impaired performance [5]. It is therefore possible that sleepiness is reliably produced with a higher intensity and periodicity of alcohol consumption along with insuicient habitual sleep duration. he sleep duration may be decreased by the heavy alcohol consumption itself, or from insuiciency based on the need or opportunity of functioning in a 24hour society, and/or the presence of intrinsic sleep disorders like insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In light 1.0 g( 4. Discussion 1.2 Lo a decrease in the sleep duration in hours, there was an increased probability of reporting daytime sleepiness; see Table 3, and Figure 1.

Evaluating this relationship from another perspective, it is possible that ater the alcohol is metabolized in the latter half of the night, the sleep is shallow and fragmented sleep as shown previously [24, 25]. his shallow and/or fragmented 6 sleep may lead the subject to a state of subacute sleep deprivation with continued heavy drinking over time, leading to complaints of daytime sleepiness [4]. Our results difer from those of Pack and colleagues [6] as their study did not account for the sleep duration or for any heavy drinking and showed results similar to our bivariate analysis. In addition, our study adjusted for the efect of gender as a covariate, as well as body mass index and insomnia symptoms in the analyses. Some of the limitations associated with this study include the following: the cross-sectional nature of the study precludes determination of the cause and efect between the variables; the dichotomous nature of sleepiness complaint prevents us from diferentiating relationships associated with varying intensities of the daytime sleepiness; the lack of additional data on the drinking pattern across genders (in a calendar format) over the past year (in days, months, or years) or the pattern of drinking on weekdays versus weekends; and the lack of data on the circadian pattern of sleep and sleepiness as well as cafeine and alcohol consumption. Despite its weaknesses, this is one of the irst studies at the population level that shows the presence of a complex relationship between alcohol consumption and sleep duration, on daytime sleepiness. In conclusion, an inverse relationship of the probability of daytime sleepiness with the intensity and the frequency of alcohol consumption was seen in adult respondents from a nationally representative US sample. Once the duration of sleep was factored in, an interaction between the frequency of heavy drinking and sleep duration predicted an increased probability of daytime sleepiness. hese results extend the indings from prior laboratory-based studies to a population sample. Future studies will need to further clarify this complex relationship further using more detailed information on alcohol use, sleepiness in the context of circadian phase and the ascending versus the descending limbs of alcohol concentrations as seen in a prior laboratory study [26], and the association with hangover symptoms. In addition, studies are also warranted to tease apart the role of gender diferences in this relationship considering the gender related diferences in sleepiness and alcohol consumption.
