A large Norwegian study found that consuming energy drinks is linked to poor quality sleep and insomnia among college students. The more frequently the drinks were consumed, the fewer hours of sleep the students got. Even occasional consumption was linked to a heightened risk of disturbed sleep. The study found sex differences in energy drink consumption patterns, with women more likely to drink them less frequently. Daily consumption was associated with shorter sleep duration, longer time to fall asleep, and more instances of waking after falling asleep. The study suggests that the frequency of energy drink consumption could be a potential target for interventions to improve sleep among college students.
