In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down: * How alcohol disrupts melatonin and your internal clock * Why you wake up in the middle of the night after drinking * The connection between alcohol, REM sleep, and mental recovery * Why alcohol can make you tired—but not truly rested * The role of nutrients like Vitamin B1 and NAC in recovery support 🎧 Tune in and learn why alcohol and real sleep are not the same thing.
