For sleep hygiene, two wrongs make a right?

Does this mean Irish coffee is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?:

(NewsNation) — University of Washington Center and University of California Berkeley researchers believe they may have found a potential key to improving sleep quality, and the surprising combination involves coffee and alcohol. “Having both caffeine and alcohol in the same night had a mitigating effect on each other’s negative effects on sleep,” said Frank Song, a UW Medicine Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. The study revealed that, on average, caffeine consumption resulted in a 10-minute reduction in sleep per cup consumed the previous day. Similarly, alcohol intake led to a 4% decline in sleep quality per drink the day before. However, this trend didn’t hold when the two were combined both during the day and at night.
“Unlike what we had predicted, it ended up being positive.”

Or does this just mean the researchers pulled too many all-nighters spent drinking and getting their own parallel data before doing the math and then published anyway to annoy their professors?

"Parallel data?"
I smell FUDGE! --or not!!!
Maybe comfort and happiness contribute more to good sleep
than following "the rules".
My nightcap tonight--a nice Irish coffee.
Or hot chocolate with Kahlua.
