Alcohol Dependent Sleep Disorder

Some people depend on alcohol to get to sleep at night. Often the individual develops a tolerance, and they need more and more alcohol to have the same effect. Unfortunately, they will tend to wake up in the middle of the night when the alcohol wears off.

A person must be using alcohol to get to sleep for at least 30 days for this disorder to be diagnosed.

See also Alcoholism.

This disorder is a type of extrinsic sleep disorder, means it comes from something outside the body. Extrinsic sleep disorders are a type of dyssomnia.
