While glass of wine at night may help you drop off, the alcohol disrupts sleep and leads to a poorer night's rest, they say. This is because drinking alcohol to fall asleep interferes with sleep homeostasis - the body's internal timer that regulates sleeping and waking.
The reason for this is because as time progresses during sleep, the alcohol is metabolized, and so you lose the sedative benefit that it provides. In addition, alcohol can really disrupt a stage of sleep called as REM sleep, and the predominance of REM sleep occurs during the latter part of the sleep cycle.
