The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether drink (58% Kinmen Kaoliang) before sleep will improve sleep quality or not. 20 healthy subjects, including 5 normal sleep men and women, 5 disorder men and disorder women were enrolled in this study. There are three steps in this measure, no drinking before sleep for 5 days, drinking before sleep for 5 days, and stop drinking for 5 days. Subjects consumed 0.3g per kilogram of body weight (g/kg) (58 percent alcohol), respectively, before 1 hour going to bed. Based on measurement methods-Cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) was recorded sleep quality everyday. And the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was recorded after no drinking, drinking, and stop drinking. Every stage was done for five days. The results of this study are as follows: (1)The scores of sleep quality, drinking before sleep are better than no drinking, stop drinking are better than no drinking. (2)The improvement of sleep quality scores, men are better than women, disorder subjects are better than normal subjects. (3)All subjects had shortest sleep latency when they drank before sleep, stop drinking was the second, no drinking was the longest. (4)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had longer total sleep time when they drank before sleep. The effect persisted 5 days for normal sleep subjects, but no effect on disorders. (5) Compared with no drinking, all subjects had longer deep sleep time when they drank before sleep. The effect persisted 5 days for normal and disorder sleep subjects. (6)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had less sleep apnea times when they drank before sleep. The effect persisted 5 days for normal and disorder sleep subjects. (7)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had higher sleep quality when they drank before sleep on PSQI questionnaire. The effect persisted 5 days for normal and disorder sleep subjects. (8)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had lower sleep intency when they drank before sleep on PSQI questionnaire. The effect persisted 5 days for normal sleep subjects, but no effect on disorders. (9)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had higher total sleep time when they drank before sleep on PSQI questionnaire. The effect persisted 5 days for normal sleep subjects, but no effect on disorders. (10)Compared with no drinking, all subjects had lower PSQI scores when they drank before sleep, it represents subjective sleep quality improved. The effect persisted 5 days for normal sleep subjects, but no effect on disorders. (11)The results of this study can be applied to the design of the glass, showed a weight in kilograms and scale on the cup, allowing users to intuitively understand how much alcohol they hould drink before sleep, which can improve sleep quality as the reference doses of alcohol.
