Sumario:Sleep abnormalities are associated with acute and chronic use of addictive substances. Although sleep complaints associated with use and abstinence from addictive substances are widely recognized, familiarity with the underlying sleep abnormalities is often lacking, despite evidence that these sleep abnormalities may be recalcitrant and impede good outcomes.

This review summarizes this research and discusses the clinical implications of sleep abnormalities in the treatment of substance use disorders.
