Description

Caffeine, alcohol, melatonin, and OTC preparations containing diphenhydramine are some commonly consumed preparations that patients use to treat their sleep disturbances. The newest legally available agent is marijuana. This session will be an evidence-based discussion on the effect of these agents on sleep and pitfalls with their use. We will also discuss the effect of opioids on sleep and sleep disorders in light of the ongoing opioid epidemic. As providers, we are likely to see some of these patients in our clinics who may not disclose their drug use.
