Alcohol and Sleep

Alcohol significantly disrupts the architecture of sleep, impacting slow-wave, deep, and REM sleep, leading to what is termed "pseudosleep." This poor quality of sleep contributes to hangover symptoms, as the body fails to achieve restorative rest. Additionally, alcohol negatively affects gut microbiota, potentially causing leaky gut, but incorporating low-sugar fermented foods or probiotics may help alleviate some hangover-related discomfort.
