The intricacies of sleep and its connection to various health conditions continue to fascinate researchers. This research explores the prevalence of parasomnias, involuntary behaviors or subjective experiences during sleep, in patients with addictions. The researchers conducted a systematic review of published literature, examining the association between parasomnias and substance use or abuse, aiming to understand the interplay between these two factors.
