truth is that alcohol is a sedative, which means it will sedate you, not make you sleep. Sedation (unconsciousness) and sleep are not the same things. Drinking alcohol may make you a better dancer and make you feel sleepier after the party, but you won’t stay asleep or sleep deeply. Alcohol breaks the natural sleep cycle and disturbs healthy sleep. It also blocks REM sleep, which is another reason why some people can’t remember much after a binger.
