Research suggests that alcohol is the most widely used sleep aid in the world, and yet we have ample evidence that alcohol is disruptive and problematic for sleep. Sure, a drink (or two) not long before bed may make you fall asleep more quickly, but as the night wears on, you’re likely to miss out on deep sleep, to wake more frequently throughout the night and to feel tired the next day. The results of two recent studies provide yet more confirmation of the obstacles that alcohol can pose for sleep.
