Experts have claimed that a particular type of drink could be stopping you from having a good night's sleep. Whilst we have all been told avoiding caffeine is important to help you fall asleep, some warn that alcohol should also be avoided.
Although you may feel sleepy after having a glass of wine or a pint of beer, drinking alcohol is a potential cause of insomnia according to sleep experts at Bed Kingdom. Unlike having the window open or eating kiwis before bed, which some people say can help you fall asleep faster reports The Daily Mirror.
The sleep expert explained: "While alcohol can often make you fall asleep faster, drinking it close to bedtime can cause fragmented sleep and can be the cause of frequent waking throughout the night. Studies have found that drinking alcohol within four hours of bedtime can negatively affect sleep continuity and duration, leading to longer 'wake after sleep onset' (WASO), where you wake up during the night and struggle to get back to sleep.
