Night cap?

[endpoint]

I have just purchased some port.....i guess its an old tradition to use it as "night cap".....but im not quite sure how much of it to drink.

Im not a drinker by any standard......but will it help me get to sleep? and sleep well......if so how much do i drink before going to bed

Alcohol may help you get to sleep initially, but it interferes with your sleep patterns so you don't sleep as well as you would have otherwise.

using alcohol to induce sleep is the number one cause of alcoholism. Have fun.

Info on port:

Start with just a glass if you are drinking it for enjoyment/taste/relaxation.

For sleep, I like inositol at 2 or 3 grams. Some like to add in about a 100 mg of 5htp.

NyQuil baby!

Try some melatonin may work. Could get a script for restolil or ambien from doc but I wouldn't recommend it.

Short term solution on nights you cannot sleep for me is take some nyquil.
