Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Interestingly, alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that typically *increases* deep (slow-wave) sleep during the first half of the night! 🧠 However, it drastically suppresses your REM (dreaming) sleep and causes severe fragmentation in the second half of the night. So while it ruins your overall sleep quality, the specific mechanism of 'decreasing deep sleep' is factually back-to-front.
