TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Patterns and consequences of inadequate sleep in college students: substance use and motor vehicle accidents JO - Journal of Adolescent Health A1 - Taylor, Daniel J. A1 - Bramoweth, Adam D. SP - 610 EP - 612 VL - 46 IS - 6 N2 - We examined college sleep patterns and consequences using a cross-sectional design. We found that students get insufficient sleep and frequently use medication and alcohol as sleep aids, use stimulants as alertness aids, and fall asleep at the wheel, or have motor vehicle accidents due to sleepiness. Future studies should focus on effective interventions for sleep in college students.
