This feasibility study aims to assess interest, recruitment, and adherence to a supervised physical activity (APA) program among individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). It also investigates the program's impact on sleep quality and efficiency. Key objectives include evaluating recruitment feasibility, assessing randomization acceptance, quantifying adherence rates, and identifying sensitive sleep assessment tools. The study will explore whether APA improves sleep outcomes in AUD patients with sleep complaints, laying groundwork for larger-scale research. Participants will engage in APA sessions, complete sleep assessments (including sleep diaries and psychometric scales), and provide sociodemographic data and past activity adherence.
