Some people drink alcohol to help them sleep better at night. Some drink a glass of wine, others drink a mixed drink or perhaps even a shot or two of bourbon. While this may put you into an unconscious state rather easily, this may be causing you trouble staying asleep. Why is that the case?
First, that lack of alcohols is not what causes insomnia. The cure for insomnia involves finding out what causes your insomnia and treat it from there. Drinking alcohol before bedtime to help you sleep simply takes away the symptoms of the Insomnia but doesn’t treat the underlying problem. It actually makes the problem worse because you’re putting yourself into a never-ending cycle of needing this alcohol before you go to bed. Unfortunately, it is not doing the job that you are hoping for.
While alcohol may help you to fall asleep quickly, it only affects the first half of your sleep. We have sleep cycle stages. Although you may fall asleep because of the alcohol, you are disrupting the other sleep cycles stages. In fact, studies have found that alcohol which has been consumed within six hours of going to sleep can affect the amount of good sleep that you are getting negatively. You may be unconscious when you fall asleep, you are not getting the deep sleep that you need in order to wake rejuvenated.
Alcohol can also cause breathing problems. You may have been told or noticed that you tend to snore more whenever you drink alcohol. This is actually because the alcohol is causing a problem with your breathing and that can negatively affect your sleep as well.
If you really want to cure your Insomnia naturally, stay away from alcohol before bed time. You might take some herbal remedies for insomnia, such as melatonin supplements. This can help you asleep and get more restful sleep.
So if you are having trouble falling asleep use something else besides alcohol to help you sleep. Find out what causes your insomnia and treat the cause. That is really the cure for insomnia you’re looking for.

Emotional state will also play a role. Not only does emotional hurt and stress lead people to block it all out with alcohol, but there is a cause and effect tie between some stress hormones and alcoholism.
