It would appear best to have alcohol at least several hours before going to bed, rather than an hour or two before sleeping.

Probably not a good idea to watch the news before bed because that can make one want a sedative like wine.
To: ConservativeMind
I know a single beer even six hours before bed makes my sleep much less restful. Two beers wrecks it.

For some of us, the drink MAKES us sleepy.

Reading FR before bed can send your BP soaring, too. You get the double-whammy of “great” news AND blue screen.

Soon we’ll need whatever it was Michael Jackson’s doctor was giving him in order to sleep.

Yep. I have a shot at bedtime which puts me to sleep, and then another shot to get back to sleep after I pee the first shot out a few hours later.
To: HerrBlucher
AND a shot at 7 am to get you going?

This has been known for a long time. Many types of sedatives also alter sleep cycles.

whatever it was Michael Jackson’s doctor was giving him That would be Propofol.

I haven’t had two hours of REM sleep in ages. I’m always half aware and half awake. I hear every acorn that hits the roof and every howl of a coyote out in the woods. I know that is why I’m so tired all the time.

Many studies have concluded that slow-wave sleep (deepest) is the most restorative. This study indicates that alcohol increases slow-wave sleep. Contradictions abound in ‘studies’.

This past Wednesday, I celebrated 20 years of sobriety after a pretty intense drinking career. Early on in sobriety, I had some pretty vivid and intense dreams and it occurred to me that during my drinking years, I didn’t recall any dreams. Sobriety quite literally gave me back my dreams.
To: ConservativeMind
When I stopped drinking several 5 years ago, I was shocked at the improved quality of my sleep. It was DEEP. And the dreams were incredibly vivid.
I can only surmise that my body and mind were making up for years of bad sleep due to too much alcohol.
Now I sleep deeply, wake up rested, and feel great all the time.

I have found that sleeping negatively impacts my drinking.
