Gender differences exist for both insomnia and substance use disorders. Women show a higher prevalence of insomnia and increased susceptibility to the effects of drugs than men. Importantly, a growing body of evidence suggests that insufficient sleep predicts and puts individuals at a higher risk for substance use and associated psychosocial problems. However, the role of insomnia in substance use disorders among women remains poorly understood. The present article discusses gender differences in insomnia and in substance use disorders and reviews evidence suggesting that an increased prevalence of insomnia may be a risk factor for substance use disorders in women.
性别差异在失眠和物质使用障碍中均存在。女性的失眠患病率较高，对药物的敏感性也高于男性。重要的是，越来越多的证据表明，睡眠不足会预测并使个体面临更高的物质使用和相关心理社会问题的风险。然而，失眠在女性物质使用障碍中的作用仍未得到充分理解。本文讨论了失眠和物质使用障碍中的性别差异，并回顾了一些证据，表明失眠的患病率增加可能是女性物质使用障碍的一个风险因素。
