Short YouTube conversation (Rich Bello and another speaker) explaining how alcohol acts as a sedative that promotes sleep onset but degrades sleep quality: causes choppy, fragmented sleep, reduces REM (dream) sleep and impairs memory consolidation, and leads to next-day hangover/fog. Effects are worsened when alcohol is mixed with sugary or caffeinated mixers.

Choppy and fragmented. You won't remember it the next day because you're drunk, but you have a choppy sleep. You're probably moving around, but you can see the brain waves.
It's a very bad poor sleep.
But you do know it the next day because you're hungover. Even if you slept a lot, you still hungover, still don't feel good. So you're in a fog the next day. And impedes, especially impedes your REM sleep.
Your dream sleep.

Your the.
Strengthening of your memory. And especially bad if you're mixing with sugary and caffeinated.
Mixers, further.
Exacerbation.
Of poor sleep. You probably end up like this guy on your desk the next day.
