BACKGROUND: Poor sleep is a well-established risk factor for heavy drinking, and evidence suggests that sleep could serve as a potential treatment target for reducing alcohol consumption. The relationship between poor sleep and problematic drinking appears to be stronger among females, but no studies to date have assessed sex differences in alcohol consumption following insomnia treatment. Here, we combine the samples from two clinical trials to investigate sex differences in the effects of a digital cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (Sleep Healthy Using the Internet; SHUTi) on sleep and alcohol outcomes.
METHODS: 184 heavy drinking individuals with insomnia (weekly binge episodes: 4/5 + drinks in one sitting for females/males; AUDIT score >7; ISI score >14) were randomly assigned to either the SHUTi program (n = 102) or an active control program (n = 82). Participants completed self-report assessments at baseline, immediately following the 9-week intervention period, and at 3 and 6-months post-intervention.
RESULTS: Linear mixed effects models showed that SHUTi effects over time were stronger among females than males for improved sleep outcomes and reduced frequency of total and heavy drinking days (ps ≤ 0.038). Follow-up comparisons of within-group effect sizes revealed consistently larger reductions in alcohol consumption among SHUTi females (Cohen's d range = 0.92-2.23) than SHUTi males (Cohen's d range = 0.65-1.95).
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that SHUTi may be more efficacious in improving sleep and reducing drinking among females with insomnia compared to males. These results could have important implications for sex-specific prevention and treatment efforts for heavy drinking individuals with insomnia.
