6 Things To Drink Before Bed To Help You Unwind & Fall Asleep

It wouldn't be a story about what to drink before bed if we didn't mention what not to drink before bed: alcohol and caffeine. Both of these can disrupt your sleep, with alcohol inhibiting REM sleep and of course caffeine making it difficult to fall asleep.

And when it comes to what to drink, you might be wondering, how about when you wake up to use the toilet? According to Winter, you can drink as much as you want if you don't mind going to the bathroom. "When it happens, it's really not a big deal," he says.

But of course, if you'd rather sleep through the night, Stephenson recommends simply enjoying your bedtime drinks about an hour before bed and using the toilet right before bed.
