High-altitude hypoxia causes sleep disorders and modifies the metabolism and mechanisms of drug action, impacting medication therapy's effectiveness. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of central nervous system diseases in high-altitude areas by summarizing the progress and mechanism of sedative-hypnotics in hypoxic environments, as well as the impact of high-altitude hypoxia on sleep.
