Getting better sleep may be as simple as skipping your nightcap.
Alcohol might help people fall asleep initially. However, it might also cause people to wake up in the middle of the night or early in the morning, a new study from the University of Missouri School of Medicine found. And alcohol could make it harder to go back to sleep.
Alcohol can affect the brain's sleep-wake system, which is what results in the early-morning wake-up call. The authors of this study said people with insomnia or other sleep problems should avoid alcohol and talk to a doctor about other sleep strategies.
