Consumption of Energy Drinks and Insomnia Among Non- Medical-Surgical Postgraduate Students in Health, Medellín – Colombia
Abstract
Sleep is essential for both physical and mental health; therefore, insomnia impacts the quality of life for those affected. Energy drinks are capable of boosting the energy levels and mental performance due to their ingredients, such as caffeine and other components; however, they could lead to undesirable effects such as insomnia. Graduate students in the field of health are at high risk of insomnia due to academic, occupational, and family demands, making them more likely to consume energy drinks to stay alert and fulfill their obligations. This article presents a cross-sectional analytical study aimed at evaluating the association between the energy drinks consumption and insomnia. The study included 157 postgraduate students in non-medical-surgical health from a university in Medellín, Colombia, chosen through a stratified random sampling based on academic programs during the period from March to May 2019. Variables such as sociodemographic, clinical, academic, occupational factors, sleep habits, energy drinks consumption and types of energy drinks were analyzed. Insomnia was found in 43.9% of the students (95% CI [36% - 52.1%]), showing a statistical association to the energy drink consumption (PR 1.7, 95% CI [1.01 – 2.92]. This suggest
that both the frequency and consumption of energy drinks are linked to the presence of insomnia in
postgraduate students in non-medical-surgical health.
