Why Can’t I Stay Asleep?

Alcohol Consumption

Having a small glass of wine before bedtime may make it easier to fall asleep. However, if you drink too much, it would affect your sleep quality. This is mainly because alcoholic beverages may disrupt the sleep cycle. Many people do not realize this fact as alcohol tends to make them feel relaxed at first. However, the rest would be very unrefreshing and fragmented. Studies have found a possible link between insomnia and alcohol consumption. Another possible reason is that drinking too much would force you to wake up at midnight to use the toilet, which may disrupt your sleep. [2]
