Sleep and Addiction

Given what we’ve discussed about sleep’s effects on the brain, it’s no surprise that sleep deprivation can influence the risk of addiction. And the scientific data speak to this. A 2010 paper looked at the association between sleep issues and relapse among drug and alcohol abusers, concluding that “sleep [disturbance] is a universal risk factor for relapse.”26 Given that impulsivity increases with poor sleep, this makes a lot of sense. For those who don’t have a bona fide drug or alcohol addiction yet struggle with unhealthful foods, beverages, and even social media, sleep deprivation may make it all the more challenging to break the cycle.
