Comorbidity Of AUD, Mental Disorders And Sleep
Problems
  • As anxiety disorders are often seen in tandem
    with alcohol dependence or AUD, this highlights
    the bidirectional relationship between both the
    conditions.
  • In addition, chronic alcohol users may take other
    drugs to help them sleep or deal with their
    morning hangover that significantly increases
    their risks for developing another form of
    addiction.

  • Prior research on the subject suggests that a
    history of baseline insomnia exists among those
    with SUD.

Sleep Disorders In Individuals With AUD
  • Sleep disorder is also seen when an individual
    with AUD experiences withdrawal symptoms.
  • Sleep issues should not to be taken lightly as
    they pose an arduous challenge, especially during
    the early phase of recovery among AUD patients,
    and can persist even after achieving sobriety.
  • In addition, sleep disturbances can also lead to
    a relapse among individuals with AUD.

  • Apart from insomnia, other sleep disorders, such
    as obstructive sleep apnea, are also witnessed
    alongside alcohol dependence.
  • The link between sleep disorders, SUD and mental
    disorders that has been identified even in the
    past continues to play an important role in
    today's time.

    patients that prevent these individuals from
