Introduction. Alcohol is the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world. Approximately 50% of men and 30% of women of working age in Russia suffer from the effects of chronic alcohol use. People suffering from alcohol dependence syndrome are more likely to end their lives by suicide, compared to the general population. In addition to the fact that alcohol and alcohol use disorder can cause suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior, it can also disrupt sleep. Sleep disorders are attracting increasing attention from clinicians and researchers, as more evidence points to associations between sleep changes and suicidal behavior. Understanding the relationship between sleep disorders and suicidal behavior in individuals with alcohol dependence syndrome can be useful in developing strategies for the prevention and treatment of alcohol dependence.
Goal. Review of the conducted studies on the role of sleep disorders and alcohol use disorders in the formation of suicidal behavior. Identification of the association between short sleep duration and suicidal behavior in individuals with alcohol dependence.
Methods. The search for Russian-language and English-language articles in the databases was carried out: ELibrary.ru, Web of Science, Scopus, etc. The search for articles was carried out by keywords: alcoholism, suicide, suicidal behavior, sleep disturbance, alcohol use disorder, alcoholism, suicide, suicidal behavior, sleep disorder, alcohol use disorder.
A total of 79 publications were found. 39 publications met the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Results. Most studies indicate an association between short sleep duration and the presence of suicidal behavior. The important role of alcohol abuse in the formation of suicidal behavior is also shown. However, this relationship is not well understood and there are contradictions, and therefore it is necessary to continue studying these phenomena in order to further reduce suicidal mortality and develop adequate treatment for sleep disorders in people suffering from alcohol dependence.
