Abstract in brief

Alcohol acts as a sedative that alters sleep patterns, with acute consumption causing faster sleep onset and disrupted sleep later in the night, while chronic alcohol abuse leads to long-term sleep disturbances like reduced deep sleep and increased rapid eye movement sleep.
Chronic alcohol use and dependence are linked to persistent disruptions in sleep architecture, which may contribute to relapse, with evidence suggesting the development of tolerance and underlying neurochemical changes affecting sleep regulation.
Research highlights the importance of sleep disruption as a potential risk factor for developing alcohol dependence, explores sex differences, and considers the role of sleep assessment tools like sleep evoked potentials in understanding and treating alcohol-related sleep issues.]
