Abstract :
Background: Energy drinks (EDs) are non-alcoholic beverages containing high caffeine (>150 mg/L) and sugar, often marketed to enhance energy and performance. However, excessive intake can affect sleep, cognition, and mood.
Aim: To assess the association between energy drink consumption and sleep quality among college students in Kalaburagi city.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the net effects of energy drinks, as well as its potential restorative effects following sleep restriction, performance and mood. To evaluate sleep quality in relation to the consumption of energy drink and other caffeinated beverages among college students. To evaluate energy drink patterns, types of energy drinks commonly consumed, frequency of consumption and motive of participants behind consuming energy drinks.
Methodology: A community-based interventional study was conducted among 457 students aged 16–20 years using a self-prepared questionnaire administered in pre- and post-test phases. Data on consumption patterns, frequency, and types of energy drinks were collected. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results: The mean age of participants was 17.85 years. Males constituted 58% (n=265). Energy drink consumption was reported by 241 (52.7%) students, predominantly males (67.9%). Poor sleep quality was observed in 287 (62.8%) participants. Statistically significant differences were found between energy drink use and poor sleep quality (p<0.001).
Key words: Energy drinks, Non-Alcoholic beverages, Caffeine, PSQI, Interventional
