Funded Activity Summary

Sleep problems are one of the most common side-effects of people going through drug withdrawal and may play a role in predicting future relapse. This project will comprehensively examine the components of sleep that are disturbed in drug-using populations, identify biological markers that impact upon functional outcomes related to sleep behaviour, and pilot an intervention targeting improved sleep outcomes that could be incorporated into routine clinical practice.
