Using alcohol to facilitate or bring on sleep is not recommended. While alcohol may initially make a person feel drowsy and help them fall asleep faster, it can disrupt the sleep cycle and lead to poor quality sleep. Alcohol can also worsen conditions like sleep apnea and snoring, leading to further sleep disturbances. Additionally, alcohol is a depressant and can negatively impact overall sleep patterns and sleep architecture. It is better to establish a healthy sleep routine and avoid relying on substances like alcohol to induce sleep.

Explanation
Exercising strenuously within 2 hours of bedtime is not recommended because it can increase your heart rate and body temperature, making it difficult to fall asleep. Physical activity stimulates the body and releases endorphins, which can make it harder to relax and unwind before bed. It is generally advised to finish exercising at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to allow your body to cool down and prepare for sleep. Therefore, the correct answer is "No".

It is recommended to create a dark and quiet sleep environment to promote better sleep.
