This review provides an overview of the effects of different analgesic drugs and their effects on phases of sleep. The effects of different pain conditions and their direct effects on sleep physiology are also discussed. A structured search of the scientific literature using MEDLINE and PubMed databases. Original human and animal studies were included. A multi-search term strategy was employed. An appreciation of the physiological effects of these drugs will allow a more considered prescription of them to better manage sleep disturbance.
