Sleep Science As Related to Alcohol and Substance Abuse: 2nd Edition

By Travis Nevels

As an alcohol and substance abuse counselor, I've found that most of my clients do not get enough quality sleep. And, the more I've studied sleep, the more I've come to realize that most people in the general population don't get good sleep. A recent study stated that 40% of Americans do not receive adequate sleep. There are many reasons for poor sleep patterns, and I'm going to uncover some of those reasons for you. I'll also address how sleep is altered as a result of alcohol and drug use. Finally, I'll discuss what you can do to improve your sleep without relying on modern pharmaceuticals, over the counter sleep aids, prescription drugs, and even melatonin, all of which can cause "rebound insomnia" and are not long term solutions for quality sleep.
