Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Alcohol affects different neurotransmitters and systems in the brain that regulate sleep. It can suppress REM sleep, causing people to wake up after a full night of sleep feeling like they hardly slept at all. It can also make people restless during sleep, more prone to vivid nightmares and symptoms of RBD.
Detailed explanation-3: -The onset of the first REM sleep period is significantly delayed at all doses and appears to be the most recognizable effect of alcohol on REM sleep, followed by a reduction in total night REM sleep.
Detailed explanation-4: -Alcohol disrupts activity in the hippocampus via several routes-directly, through effects on hippocampal circuitry, and indirectly, by interfering with interactions between the hippocampus and other brain regions.
