Is it true that "drinking alcohol helps you sleep better"? An expert explains the relationship between sleep and alcohol
Published
Many people feel that drinking alcohol before bed helps them "sleep better." It is true that when you drink, you initially feel drowsy or relaxed, which can make it seem like you fall asleep more easily.
However, experts say that alcohol can significantly lower the quality of your sleep. It is known that when you sleep after drinking, you are more likely to wake up in the middle of the night and experience less deep sleep.
As alcohol is broken down in the body, the brain is unable to rest, and as a result, you do not recover from fatigue as effectively. Therefore, the habit of drinking before bed may have a negative impact on brain health in the long term.
To lead a healthy life, it is important to prioritize the quality of your sleep. To get a good night's rest, it is recommended to avoid drinking before bed and to create a relaxing environment.
