Early life sleep disruption (ELSD) does not affect adult ethanol intake across 5 days of 2-bottle choice (2BC). (a) Average g/kg EtOH consumed over 5 days of continuous access 2BC (one bottle contained 10% EtOH in water, the second bottle contained drinking water) was similar in ELSD and Control prairie voles (no effect of sex, males and females collapsed). (b) Average ethanol preference over 5 days of continuous access 2BC was also similar in ELSD and Control prairie voles; however, females on average had a lower ethanol preference than males. Cohorts 1 and 2 combined. n = 40 male control; n = 29 male ELSD; n = 29 female control; n = 26 female ELSD. Dotted box corresponds to data shown. Bar height is mean, error bars ± SEM. * p < .05.
