Research found drinking even a small amount of alcohol before bed can adversely affect sleep quality. People who do not get enough REM sleep can experience emotional problems. (original.newsbreak.com)

I suspect you have that sleep mutation which allows you to feel rested after only 4-6 hours. That’s not enough sleep to be well rested even without alcohol.

it depends. if I get 4-6 hours sleep while camping I usually wake up full of energy and ready to take on the world. that said, I don't often sleep well outdoors so 4 broken hours is usually what I'd consider "a good night"
