Abstract:
Background:The relationship between alcohol consumption and sleep disorders is a complex issue. Although alcohol
has a sedative effect in small doses, this effect diminishes when alcohol consumption exceeds an average of 7 grams per
hour.
Aim:To assess the sleep quality of individuals dependent on alcohol.
Materials and Methods:A quantitative study was conducted using a survey-based research design. A total of 120 men
participated in the study, including 60 alcohol-dependent individuals and 60 in the control group without alcohol dependence. The study utilized demographic questionnaires, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality,
and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) to determine the level of alcohol dependence.
Results:The average age of alcohol-dependent participants was 45.3±42.4 years, while the control group had an average
age of 42.4±5.1 years. The AUDIT score for the alcohol-dependent group was 25.6±9.8, indicating a high level of dependence, whereas the control group scored 7.2±3.2, suggesting low consumption levels. This difference was statistically significant (t=3.98, p=0.001). In the alcohol-dependent group, sleep latency was prolonged (p=0.042), sleep efficiency scores
were lower (p=0.012), and sleep disturbances were more frequent (p=0.039) compared to the control group. The overall
PSQI score was 9.82±2.8 for the alcohol-dependent group, whereas it was 4.1±1.2 for the control group. A correlation
analysis revealed that poor subjective sleep quality (p=0.023), sleep latency of more than 30 minutes (p=0.012), sleep efficiency below 75% (p=0.021), and sleep disturbances (p=0.019) were significantly associated with higher AUDIT scores.
Conclusion:Alcohol dependence negatively affects sleep quality, particularly in terms of subjective sleep perception,
sleep latency, and sleep efficiency, leading to sleep disorders.
