Alcohol as help to fall asleep?

Like all things in life, alcohol has two sides. Unfortunately, alcohol is amongst the most common drugs taken as help to fall asleep. But, pay attention! Alcohol can make falling asleep easier but excessive use of alcohol disturbs recreative sleep in any case! The dose does it – a glass of wine for dinner definitely can be relaxing. Italian scientists possibly have found out the reason for that. Botanists have found that some of the most popular red-wine-grapes surprisingly contain the sleeping hormone melatonin in their peel. Especially the types Nebbiolo, Croatina, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, one of the main-grapes of Chianti, where melatonin-rich.

On the other hand, nicotine and caffeine are actually substances that effectuate the complete opposite in case of melatonin. In fact, they are an antagonist of the sleeping hormone melatonin and can lead to a chronical lack of melatonin in long-term. Of course, this would be a pretty bad precondition for improvement of your sleeping quality.
