Using alcohol as a sleep aid is not an ideal choice. While alcohol may make you feel sleepy and help you fall asleep, it can interfere with your sleep cycle, especially rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Long-term use of alcohol as a sleep aid can lead to dependence, and your sleep quality will gradually decline, and it may even lead to more serious sleep problems. If you are considering using alcohol to help you sleep, it is recommended to try the following healthier alternatives: 1. **Establish a regular sleep schedule**: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. 2. **Create a comfortable sleep environment**: Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, cool and comfortable. 3. **Avoid caffeine and nicotine**: Especially in the afternoon and evening. 4. **Practice relaxing activities**: Such as meditation, a warm bath or deep breathing exercises. 5. **Limit screen time**: Reduce the use of electronic devices within an hour before bedtime. If you continue to face sleep problems, it is best to consult a doctor or sleep specialist who can help identify potential causes and recommend appropriate solutions.
