睡眠不佳和大量饮用含咖啡因的饮料被认为是一系列不良健康结果的风险因素。咖啡因摄入和其他兴奋剂的使用在全球大学生中很普遍。然而，据我们所知，目前还没有研究调查含咖啡因饮料对东南亚大学生睡眠质量的影响。我们在2854名泰国大学生中进行了这项研究，以评估睡眠质量的模式，并检查睡眠质量差与能量饮料、含咖啡因饮料和其他兴奋剂的消耗之间的关系。进行了问卷调查，以确定人口统计和行为特征。匹兹堡睡眠质量指数被用来评估睡眠习惯和质量。卡方检验和多变量logistic回归模型用于确定有统计学意义的关联。总体而言，睡眠质量差的患病率为48.1%。很大比例的学生使用兴奋剂饮料（58.0%）。兴奋剂使用(优势比（OR） 1.50；95%可信区间（95% CI） 1.28-1.77)发现具有统计学意义，且与睡眠质量差呈正相关。饮酒（OR 3.10; 95% CI 1.72-5.59）和吸烟（OR 1.43; 95% CI 1.02-1.98）也与嗜睡引起的日间功能障碍增加有统计学上显著的关联。总之，兴奋剂的使用在泰国大学生中很常见，并且与睡眠质量差的几个指标有关。我们的研究结果强调了教育学生睡眠的重要性以及饮食和生活方式选择对他们睡眠质量和整体健康的影响的必要性。
Poor sleep and heavy use of caffeinated beverages have been implicated as risk factors for a number of adverse health outcomes. Caffeine consumption and use of other stimulants are common among college students globally. However, to our knowledge, no studies have examined the influence of caffeinated beverages on the sleep quality of college students in Southeast Asian populations. We conducted this study to evaluate the patterns of sleep quality and to examine the extent to which poor sleep quality is associated with consumption of energy drinks, caffeinated beverages, and other stimulants among 2,854 Thai college students.A questionnaire was administered to ascertain demographic and behavioral characteristics. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep habits and quality. Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify statistically significant associations.Overall, the prevalence of poor sleep quality was found to be 48.1 %. A significant percent of students used stimulant beverages (58.0 %). Stimulant use (odds ratios (OR) 1.50; 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CI) 1.28-1.77) was found to be statistically significant and positively associated with poor sleep quality. Alcohol consumption (OR 3.10; 95 % CI 1.72-5.59) and cigarette smoking (OR 1.43; 95 % CI 1.02-1.98) also had a statistically significant association with increased daytime dysfunction due to sleepiness. In conclusion, stimulant use is common among Thai college students and is associated with several indices of poor sleep quality.Our findings underscore the need to educate students on the importance of sleep and the influences of dietary and lifestyle choices on their sleep quality and overall health.
