The literature suggests that alcohol ingestion produces characteristic alterations of sleep physiology and evoked response in alcoholics. Studies of alcohol withdrawal indicate that for some alcoholics residual functional tolerance remains apparent for an indefinite period. Low amounts of slow wave sleep (SWS) appear to be one of the physiological concomitants of the residual tolerance. Visual evoked responses were recorded from two small groups of inpatient alcoholics identified as normal or low SWS during a sober period. Alcohol ingestion produced no significant changes of evoked response parameters. Alcohol withdrawal produced significant augmentation of early component amplitude for the low SWS group only. These data suggest that low SWS and augmented primary component amplitude may be physiological correlates of functional tolerance to alcohol.
文献表明，饮酒会使酗酒者的睡眠生理和诱发反应产生特征性改变。戒酒研究表明，对于一些酗酒者而言，残余功能耐受性会在一段不确定的时间内持续存在。低量的慢波睡眠（SWS）似乎是残余耐受性的生理伴随现象之一。在清醒期，从两组被确定为正常或低SWS的住院酗酒者中记录视觉诱发反应。饮酒并未使诱发反应参数产生显著变化。仅低SWS组在戒酒时早期成分振幅出现显著增大。这些数据表明，低SWS和增大的主要成分振幅可能是对酒精功能耐受性的生理相关因素。
