title: Medication effects on sleep.
abstract: The understanding of the neuropharmacologic reciprocal interactions between the sleep and wake cycles has progressed significantly in the past decade. It was also recently appreciated that sleep disruption or deprivation can have adverse metabolic consequences. Multiple medications have a direct or indirect impact on sleep and the waking state. This article reviews how commonly prescribed medications can significantly affect the sleep-wake cycle.
