Ep. 114: Alcohol, Insomnia + Sleep In Sobriety

What questions do you have about alcohol, insomnia and sleep in sobriety?  You might be wondering… Does alcohol help you get to sleep?  What contributes to good sleep?  Why am I so tired in early sobriety? What can I do if I can’t sleep early sobriety? When will I start sleeping well after I stop drinking?  So here’s the big question: does alcohol help you sleep?  Nope. Alcohol is a sedative that makes you feel sleepy, but it actually significantly decreases your sleep quality (and leads directly to those awful 3am hangxiety wake ups).  In fact, a Sleep Foundation study found that for women less than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 9.3%, one drink decreases your sleep quantity by 24% and more than one drink decreases your sleep quality by 39.2%.  For full show notes and resources mentioned in the episode, head to www.hellosomedaycoaching.com/114   Ready to drink less + live more?
