Participant characteristics: fluid control vs. alcohol
| Variable | Fluid control (n = 16) | Alcohol (n = 16) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (years) | 25 ± 1 | − | |
| BMI (kg/m 2 ) | 28 ± 1 | − | |
| SAP (mmHg) | 111 ± 2 | 110 ± 2 | 0.753 |
| DAP (mmHg) | 63 ± 2 | 64 ± 3 | 0.681 |
| HR (beats/min) | 57 ± 2 | 63 ± 3** | 0.004 |
| TST (min) | 439 ± 6 | 410 ± 10** | 0.004 |
| SE (%) | 92 ± 1 | 86 ± 2** | 0.003 |
| AHI (events/min) | 1.57 ± 0.8 | 1.93 ± 0.9 | 0.573 |
Results are means ± SEM; BMI, body mass index; SAP, systolic arterial pressure; DAP, diastolic arterial pressure; HR, heart rate; TST, total sleep time; SE, sleep efficiency; AHI, apnea hypopnea index. **p < 0.01 compared to corresponding fluid control condition.
