Alcohol is one of the most commonly used psychoactive substances in the community. Many individuals use alcohol for its sleep-promoting effects. Nonetheless, alcohol disrupts sleep through multiple mechanisms, such as disrupting electrophysiologic sleep architecture, triggering insomnia, and contributing to abnormalities of circadian rhythms and short sleep duration (SSD) in cross-sectional studies. Alcohol also increases breathing-related sleep events such as snoring and oxygen desaturation, especially in those with pre-existing problems. Emerging data demonstrate that insomnia may co-exist with SSD and circadian abnormalities. Future studies should unravel these tentative associations in individuals who misuse alcohol.
酒精是社区中最常用的精神活性物质之一。许多人使用酒精是因为它有促进睡眠的作用。然而,酒精通过多种机制干扰睡眠,例如破坏电生理睡眠结构、引发失眠,并导致横断面研究中昼夜节律和短睡眠持续时间(SSD)的异常。酒精还会增加与呼吸相关的睡眠事件,如打鼾和氧饱和度下降,尤其是在那些存在潜在问题的人中。新出现的数据表明,失眠可能与 SSD 和昼夜节律异常同时存在。未来的研究应该在滥用酒精的个体中阐明这些暂定的关联。
