Ok it’s been a week since I started drinking white wine before I sleep and since then I’ve been up earlier and feel more rested, but everyone is telling me it’s bad and it disturbs my sleep pattern.

My Dr advised me to try wine before sleep. It also makes me feel more rested when I wake.

Look, it’s your life – if it helps, fine – though I’d say wine should be a once or twice a week kind of thing.

It’s better than having a glass of wine while sleeping.

Or first thing in the morning.

I have heard it helps but I think it depends on the person. Every time I drink wine before bed I wake up 2–3 hours later and cannot sleep again. However I drink red. I wonder if it makes a difference…

There must be something to it since NyQuil is marketed as a night cold remedy that helps you sleep but is essentially a doubleshot of hard booze with an antihistamine.

I would say it helps quite a lot to drink a little before you snooze, “smooths over the cracks”

Alcoholic drink can make you experience deep sleep. And headache in the morning(when you wake up).

@Doctor_D I agree with @MrGeneVan. No headaches here either,but I sip only a small amount.

My friend’s OC drinks wine constantly, & is a narcileptic. Then again, he also cries a lot. And he’s a nobleman.

It shouldn’t be bad for you if you drink only a small amount.

I agree with Bellumbri. It’s called a “night cap,” an ancient and venerable institution. I have a few sips of port every night before I go to sleep. Works like a charm.

It’s bad to drink a whole bottle or more.

I don’t see too much harm in that. It might be worth totting up your units per week – that’ll give you an idea I suppose :/

I drink almost 5 liters, or a “Box of wine”, White almost every night. I found out that the alcohol volume of the wine I had been drinking was about 9%. I found a new box at 11%, and a box now lasts almost a week. Sometimes, I don’t drink anything at all before I sleep, and get a good rest. I think it all depends on you. I have my on and offs with it. Since I have recently been put on medication, I have no choice but to stop my old fashioned “Night Cap”.
