Subjective XXXX during a smoking cessation program: associations with relapse.

@entity1 @entity25 @entity22
BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbance may affect smoking cessation efforts. We describe sleep changes across three months among @entity1 in a smoking cessation program and tested whether @entity25 at baseline and 1 month post-quit attempt predicted smoking status at three months. METHODS: @entity1 (N=322) were @entity1 in a randomized, clinical trial for smoking cessation. Sleep disturbances, as well as, @entity22 , drowsiness, and sleep quality were evaluated prior to and during three months of cessation treatment. Repeated measures mixed models evaluated change in sleep over time by smoking outcome status. Logistic regression analyses determined whether @entity25 at baseline and 1 month post-quit were associated with smoking status at 3 months. RESULTS: Sleep disturbances were reported by more than 25% of @entity1 . Drowsiness, @entity22 , and sleep quality changed over time. However, contrary to our hypotheses, none of the sleep variables at either baseline or 1 month post-quit attempt was associated with relapse (p's>.05). CONCLUSIONS: Although mild to severe drowsiness was reported by more @entity1 who relapsed than those who remained abstinent, none of the @entity25 predicted smoking relapse. Given high rates of @entity25 among @entity1 smokers, better prospective evaluations of the relationship of @entity25 to smoking cessation treatment outcome are needed.
