Lyrica is a medication that is used to treat a variety of conditions, including epilepsy, neuropathic pain, and anxiety disorders. While it is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. One of the potential side effects of Lyrica is sleep disturbances [1].

A study published in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology investigated the effects of pregabalin (the active ingredient in Lyrica) on sleep in healthy volunteers. The study found that pregabalin significantly disrupted sleep architecture, including reducing slow-wave sleep and increasing wakefulness after sleep onset [2].

Another study published in the journal Sleep Medicine examined the effects of pregabalin on sleep in patients with fibromyalgia. The study found that pregabalin improved sleep quality and reduced sleep disturbances in these patients [3].

Overall, while Lyrica may cause sleep disturbances in some patients, its effects on sleep appear to be complex and may depend on the underlying condition being treated. Patients who experience sleep disturbances while taking Lyrica should discuss their symptoms with their healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
