Great post, Shutterbug!
I'm an insomniac. All of that post is correct from what I've learned.

Alcohol may seem like a sleep aid because it slows you down and can make it easier to fall asleep. But alcohol affects the depth and restfulness of your sleep by disrupting normal sleep patterns. It can also affect your breathing and heart rate.

I used to drink to "sleep". When I quit, I learned what I quoted. Another thing alcohol does to your sleep...... it can, and frequently does, cause sleep apnea. Which, along with disrupting your sleep, can be very dangerous.
