ABSTRACT
Objective:
To examine relationships between sleep, alcohol consumption, and a physiological and behavioral marker of cognitive function in college students. College students are in a high risk category for high alcohol consumption and poor sleep quality, two unhealthful behaviors which can lead to poor mental health outcomes and compromised academic performance.Participants:
Thirty college students from a large midwestern institution.Methods:
Participants performed an interhemispheric transfer task while their electroencephalography was recorded for later examination of event-related potentials. They were also administered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, and the Alcohol Timeline Follow-Back.Results:
Results demonstrate that increased alcohol consumption is associated with poor right-to-left interhemispheric transfer performance, and increased frontal P1 ERP amplitudes to neuro-ipsilateral targets requiring an interhemispheric-transfer.Conclusions:
These findings assist in furthering explorations into the impacts of unhealthy behaviors in college students and underlying markers of simple cognitive and behavioral function.
