Alcohol can cause you to awake frequently in the night, reduce the amount of deep sleep you get, and cause you to wake up earlier than usual in the morning. The overall effect is that you end up feeling tired the next day. And thus you might be tempted to use alcohol to fall asleep the next night and the night after that and so on.

酒會(huì)使你頻繁起夜，減少你的睡眠時(shí)間，還會(huì)使你早上醒的更早。總的來(lái)說(shuō)，（睡前飲酒的）結(jié)果就是你第二天會(huì)感到疲憊。因此，第二天晚上你可能又會(huì)忍不住要靠飲酒助眠了。由此，一個(gè)惡性循環(huán)便產(chǎn)生了。

A large number of recovering alcoholics who participated in a study on insomnia in recovery from alcoholism claim to have had problems sleeping for some years before their alcohol dependence developed. And it’s an established fact that trouble sleeping is also one of the major triggers of relapse among recovering alcoholics.

一大群正在戒酒的人參與了一項(xiàng)關(guān)于失眠癥的調(diào)查研究。他們稱，在酒癮形成之前，他們都經(jīng)受過(guò)幾年的睡眠問(wèn)題的困擾。而人們戒酒難的原因之一便是睡眠問(wèn)題，這已是不爭(zhēng)的事實(shí)。

Recovering alcoholics have difficulty both falling asleep and staying asleep, and this is a serious problem for people who are trying to recover from alcohol dependence. Though there is not enough data at this point to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between insomnia and alcoholism, the connections between the two are noteworthy. It’s enough to make you reconsider using alcohol as a sleep aid.

處在戒酒過(guò)程中的人不僅入睡有困難，睡也睡不踏實(shí)，這對(duì)于那些試圖戒酒的人來(lái)說(shuō)，是一個(gè)嚴(yán)重的問(wèn)題。雖然目前還沒(méi)有證據(jù)表明失眠癥和酗酒之間有因果關(guān)系， 但二者之間的聯(lián)系是值得我們?nèi)プ⒁獾?。這已足夠讓你重新考慮一下，用酒來(lái)助眠是不是一個(gè)好的選擇。
