Abstract

Insomnia caused by alcoholism persists even after sobriety and is associated with the risk of alcoholic relapse, depression, and suicide. During abstinence in alcoholic patients, deep sleep is not achieved and the rate of slow-wave sleep continues to decrease on the polysomnography. In this study, we compared self-reported sleep quality and polysomnography results during asenapine consumption and after its discontinuation in a patient who reported insomnia during abstinence. The results suggest that asenapine improved self-reported sleep quality and the rate of slow-wave sleep. © 2022 Medical Society of Toho University. All rights reserved.
