 Brant P. Hasler, Christina T. Schulz, Sarah L. Pedersen Alcohol use and related problems can contribute to sleep disturbances and disrupted circadian rhythms and vice versa. Both changes in sleep/circadian rhythms and initiation of alcohol use typically occur during adolescence and young adulthood. This ARCR review reports that various sleep/circadian characteristics during adolescence and young adulthood can predict development of alcohol use and/or alcohol use disorder. The authors also explore factors that may influence this relationship and whether sleep treatment can improve alcohol-related outcomes. Celebrate 50 years of alcohol insights with ARCR. The inaugural post on our recently launched News & Notes webpage dives deep into ARCRs history and accomplishments. For additional updates from ARCR, follow us on LinkedIn.
