How does caffeine and alcohol affect sleep?

To enhance sleep quality, it is advisable to refrain from consuming caffeine for at least 3-4 hours prior to bedtime, as it can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.

Although alcohol may initially induce drowsiness, it has been shown to cause disruptions in sleep later in the night, resulting in frequent awakenings. Therefore, it is generally recommended to avoid the consumption of alcohol before going to bed.
