How Does Alcohol Affect REM Sleep?

Alcohol can disrupt the normal sleep cycle, particularly affecting REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is crucial for memory and mood regulation. While it might help you fall asleep faster, alcohol reduces the amount of REM sleep, leading to a less restful night and potential sleep disturbances.
