Wine & sleep pattern disruption

Not everybody is affected the saem way by wine. For instance, a cup of coffee in the evening keeps me up all night so I don't drink coffee in the evening. It's a choice.

What time is "evening" and "earlier into the evening."

Is the glass with or without food. I'd say that would make a difference. Try something you like to snack on with your red wine.

Drink 2 glasses instead...

If he sees problems from one glass, 2 will probably make it worse. But it's worth a try. I experience that problem (waking up early next morning), only after consuming a lot of wine (at least one bottle). Two or three glasses do not create any problems for me.

Evening is around 11pm. Earlier is around 9:30-10pm.

I like to savour the flavour on its own, so if I had to consume it with food, I'd probably just forgo the experience. This is simply an exploration...

That is too much....

This is one glass (rather full-ish). Maybe 22.5% of a bottle.

I do experience it once in a while. It usually takes place after a late supper where Ive had more than one glass of wine, and am still feeling the effects by bedtime.

I mark it up to the fact that alchohol is a stimulant and let it go at that. As I often have issues sleeping from a variety of causes, and it doesn't happen that often, I tend to just ignore it.

Alcohol is a stimulant? Since when?

"Bi!!" suggested this site.....

It requires subscription.

However, this site suggests that alcohol appears to act as both a depressant and a stimulant (biphasic!).

Personally, I have never found that drinking wine, regardless of amount consumed, has any effect on my sleep patterns.

I don't have a subscription I found it through google and I just now clicked on the link and it took me to the article. I only cited it as an example of a number of articles that implied that for a variety of reasons alcohol can have an effect on sleep patterns especially in late stage sleep but not everybody reacts the same way to it's effects.

Hmmmm - I tried that link again - and was directed straight to a "Log In" window. (I am not prepared to register!)

Maybe it is "country specific" - we NZers are regarded as still regarded as "nuclear-free unfriendlies" by Washington! ;-)))))

Yes, you can be a subversive lot! All that beautiful landscape, weather and people...something is certainly strange about that whole scene.

And all these sheep! Just think of all the sheep! Maybe they're preparing a muttony?

Initially, alcohol does act as a stimulant, later becoming a CNS depressant. That accounts for people's behavior, wherein alcohol consumption leads to louder talk, more vigorous gestures and a reduction in inhibition, then later to passing out.

That's the way I act normally without alcohol.....I just get much wittier with alcohol.
