Hope the burden of thinking and feeling tired lost, some people choose alcohol as an escape. Alcohol in the evening also considered to accelerate the arrival of sleepiness. In fact, the effects of alcohol consumption before bed it will decrease the quality of sleep so that when you wake up the body is not even fresh.
This is evidenced in a study conducted Christian Nicholas and his colleagues from the University of Melbourne. The research is published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
Nicholas and his team say, a lot of people who can feel fast asleep after drinking alcohol. They were interested to observe the physiological reactions in the brain of someone who just drank alcohol were sleeping.
They studied young people aged 18-21 years at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences Sleep Laboratory. At night before going to sleep, researchers gave young people the orange juice and the other group was given vodka.
They were then asked to sleep as usual. For this study, they head mounted electrodes to measure brain wave patterns during sleep with electroencephalogram (EEG).
As a result, those who drank alcohol showed slower waves in sleep patterns. Research seeing delta waves in the brain. However, at the same time, the alpha waves in the brain is also increased. Alpha waves in the brain usually occurs when a person is not resting.
When the activity of delta and alpha occur together, disturbed sleep patterns. The dual activity usually occurs in people who are chronically ill.
"People tend to feel alcohol helps them fall asleep a little faster. But when you actually look at what happens during sleep, they sleep quality is not good," said Nicholas.
