As a secondary goal, it is planned to keep the patients in follow-up with their improved sleep and psychological conditions, and to improve their adherence to treatment and quality of life.
Sleep disorders are very common in alcohol patients (40-90% according to studies) These sleep disorders may persist after withdrawal and represent a major factor in relapse. In a previous study, the investigators validated a simple sleep questionnaire (the "Short Sleep Index = SSI") from a multicentre series of 602 American patients (Perney et al., Alcohol Alcohol 2012) The SSI is obtained from the Hamilton score (baseline score for anxiety and depression)

Sleep disorders affect human health tremendously. It has been reported that aromatherapy by fragrance inhalation can be used as an adjuvant therapy to modulate parasympathetic nervous activity for relieving stress and mood, and promoting sleep quality. Many researches confirmed that lavender essential oil can be used as an adjuvant therapy for sleep disorders. It can effectively relieve stress and modulate physical and mental status. However, many studies about aromatherapy lack sleep detection instruments to objectively confirm their effects on sleep physiology. Therefore, this study adopts Easy sleep complex essential oil as the experimental group. The lavender essential oil containing orange, petitgrain, rose, lavender, rosewood, ho wood, amyris essential oil and lavender oil is chosen as control group. The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The efficacy results will be evaluated and compared between the two groups. The investigators expect that aromatherapy by fragrance inhalation with Easy sleep complex essential oil will improve sleep quality more effectively than lavender essential oil.
