Sleep is a natural process that allows the body, mind, and spirit to rest and recover. It is a state of altered consciousness, characterized by relatively low muscle activity and reduced sensory awareness. Sleep is essential for gentle restoration of cognitive, emotional, and physical health. It also helps to consolidate memories, regulate mood, and repair tissues and cells. The amount of sleep required varies depending on age, lifestyle, and other factors. However, the majority of individuals require seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
A common complaint among individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) is difficulty sleeping. They can occur during withdrawal and can be associated with slip relapse of substance use. Insomnia and other associated sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea are common symptoms of alcohol dependence. People who refrain from chronic substance usage frequently experience sleep difficulties. People using marijuana experience sleep problems and people using opioids often report symptoms of insomnia. People in recovery may experience major negative consequences on their mental, emotional, and physical health if they are sleep deprived. It may also hinder the treatment for substance abuse.
Another common symptom found in individuals with substance use disorder is “hypersomnia” and “hypersomnolence”. Hypersomnolence describes symptoms of extreme drowsiness, whereas hypersomnia refers to particular illnesses with excessive sleepiness as a prominent symptom. Patients with hypersomnia caused by substance misuse may have excessive nighttime sleep, daytime drowsiness, or napping as a result of their use of substances. Withdrawal from amphetamines and other substances can produce hypersomnolence.

Substance misuse and sleep disturbances have a complicated and multidimensional interaction. Abuse of substances can damage sleep architecture, interfere with the generation of critical hormones that regulate sleep, and upset the body’s normal circadian rhythm. However, sleep disturbances may also make a person more susceptible to substance usage and relapse.
Quality sleep is essential for overall well-being, but it is especially important in addiction treatment. During sleep, the body goes through critical processes that enable healing, repair, and memory consolidation. These mechanisms are critical for those recovering from substance abuse. Getting adequate sleep helps regulate mood, lower cravings, and improve cognitive function, all of which are important in the recovery process.
Lack of sleep or excessive sleepiness can have a negative impact on physical, mental, and emotional health, impeding the addiction recovery process.
