About a year ago I started drinking a glass of wine every night because of a self experiment I did suggesting it was good for my sleep (https://ja3k.com/blog/wine). The title concerned me but if you look at the graphs there's basically no difference between 0 and 1 for either gray or white matter.

Did it improve your sleep? I always found I fall asleep easily if I've been drinking in the evening but I invariably wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety or bad dreams

In my data my REM and deep sleep percentages both improved while my total time asleep went down (in my mind a win-win). Subjectively my sleep velocity also improved.

I don't have data for what happens when I have 2+ drinks but that definitely has a deleterious effect on my sleep. Especially after 3.
