Wine & sleep pattern disruption
 

I find that a glass of red per evening consistently causes early
wakefulness. I wonder how people enjoy this routine without such
consequences (which becomes rather significant over the long term).
In particular, I wonder how this is approached by those people who
return home rather late, and hence don't have the option of moving it
earlier into the evening.

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.

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...

True...it comes down to a choice not to indulge, for the sake of
sleep.

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.

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

http://cme.medscape.com/viewarticle/497982


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.

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.
