I had sleep problems a while ago, and have another perspective.
I don't want to say that alcohol works against sleep problems, because in my experience it generally doesn't. Just like I don't want to say that food does — eating when not hungry is bad. But still, when I couldn't sleep you might find me in the kitchen with a bottle of bock beer, or I might have a glass of milk and a banana. Both of those gave a decent chance of sleep, if I didn't repeat them too often. Better, somehow more realistic sleep than my pills.
Alcohol may result in below-average sleep, but depending on where you are, reaching a below-average status may be good or bad, see?
