It’s a sad day for guys who enjoy a cheeky nip before bedtime. A new study has revealed that ‘one for the road’ doesn’t actually aid your sleep at all – in fact it disrupts it. A good few drinks may appear to lull you into a gentle booze coma however the studies show that despite alcohol reducing the time you doze off, waking after falling asleep increased during the second half of the night.

Nevertheless, a nightcap’s still far more appealing than a Night Nurse…
