How Opiates Affect Sleep Architecture and Learning
Opiates compromise the structures and functions necessary for learning new behaviors and disturbance in sleep architecture by too much locus coerulus activity. Restoration of endogenous receptors is needed while coming off of exogenous opiates to stabilize the systems.

Summary
The impact of sleep on addiction and relapse behaviors is closely linked to the function of the locus coeruleus and the production of norepinephrine. Sleep disturbances may be a predictor of hyperactive locus coeruleus and increased anxiety and depression in individuals with addiction.
