College students who consume moderate to severe amounts of alcohol are increasingly likely to face lower quality of sleep.[16] A study published in Behavioral Sleep Medicine showed that significant alcohol use can lead to “lower sleep duration, greater sleep schedule irregularity, bedtime delay, weekend oversleeping, and sleep-related impairment.”[17] Furthermore, increasing alcohol consumption may lead to the student falling asleep faster, but the student will face sleep disturbance.[16] Alcohol use decreases REM sleep, so student who consumes alcohol may sleep for the normal 7–8 hours, but the sleep quality will be lower than an individual who was sober.[16][17]
