Alcohol and Sleep

A study in the journal Sleep shows that long-term alcoholism affects sleep even after long periods of abstinence, and the pattern of this effect is similar in both men and women. Alcoholics also had significantly more stage 1 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (8.5 percent in men, 6.3 percent in women) than controls (6.2 percent in men, 5.6 percent in women).
