Detailed explanation-1: -Both benzodiazepines and antidepressants can be used to decrease REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-2: -The alcohol in your system will mean you spend less time in the important Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep, 2 with the end result that you wake up feeling less refreshed. Even just a couple of drinks will have an effect.
Detailed explanation-3: -Reciprocal inhibitory interactions between the REM-ON and REM-OFF neurons are thought to be involved in REM-sleep regulation. In addition stimulation of serotonergic, noradrenergic, or histaminergic cells will inhibit REM sleep. Orexin/hypocretin neurons also regulate REM-sleep timing via activation of the LC.
Detailed explanation-4: -When taken together, alcohol and sleeping pills reduce brain-wave activity and prevent deep REM sleep. REM sleep, or restorative sleep, is what makes people feel rested and energized the next day.
