A depiction of change in total scores on the Sleep Problems Questionnaire (SPQ) from baseline to 6 months as a function of drinking status at 6-months. Adjusting for gender and psychiatric severity, a significant interaction between time and drinking group is shown by parallel decreases in scores (improvement in sleep) among patients achieving abstinence (n=107) or drinking moderately (n=29), whereas patients who relapsed to heavy drinking (n=89) show no improvement in sleep (F=5.71, df=2,220, p=.004). Groups did not differ significantly in baseline sleep scores.
