Effects of Alcohol on Sleep
Alcohol consumption close to bedtime reduces REM sleep, delays the onset of the first REM sleep period, and decreases total REM sleep during the night. Alcohol increases slow-wave sleep in the first half of the night. Consuming alcohol within 90 minutes of sleep reduces sleep onset latency, increases sleep disruptions in the second half of the night, and compromises long-term memory formation. Moderate and high doses of alcohol decrease REM sleep, especially during the first half of the night. Alcohol's impact on REM sleep and REM sleep onset is somewhat minimized when consumed four hours or more before sleep.
