TexFlips post made me wonder.... Whenever I drink a bunch, I have a harder time falling asleep.
Who has a short night cap before bed?
Does it help you sleep?

Nope, alcohol in small or large amounts doesn't make me sleep better.

Maybe because alcohol is a stimulant?

Maybe I thought it was a stimulant because when I used to drink, my heart rate was a lot higher. I noticed it when I would hit the sack. It never raced like that if I hadn't been drinking. So maybe not something I heard, just experienced. On second thought, maybe my wife said it. She don't know (censored) anyway.

Alcohol in general, I don't believe helps me sleep, but...especially if I'm under the weather...a hot toddy or two does wonders.

A drink or two definitely helps me fall asleep, but if I have much more than that, I don't sleep well and can't stay asleep.

I know a guy who took that, laid down in bed and woke up in the Lake Worth jail. He had charges for evading, resisting and a bunch of other stuff. He had zero memory of it all and expected to wake back up in his own bed.

I have a full bar but rarely drink anything but fruit brandy. I have to be careful because it goes down so easy.

Puts me straight to sleep, which is why I never understood how people drink and party all night. But, after about 4 hours I start waking up and have a horrible time sleeping the rest of the night.

I have found two ingredients create beneficial rest:
1). Don't worry about what you can't control
2). A clean conscience really helps
