I hate to see people reach for alcohol to solve sleep problems when it doesn't need to go there. We need to start paying more attention to sleep quality as we do the foods we're eating.
Ever wondered if that nightcap is actually helping you sleep? In this eye-opening episode of 'Alcohol Tipping Point', host Deb Mazenor sits down with Terry Cralle, a Registered Nurse and Certified Clinical Sleep Educator, to unpack the real relationship between alcohol and sleep. Terry, who’s also a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality, dives deep into why sleep is crucial for your health and how alcohol might be sabotaging your rest more than you think.
Forget the myth that alcohol is a sleep aid; Terry explains how it leads to fragmented, poor-quality sleep and all the health issues that come with it. From caffeine timing to the type of light you should avoid before bed, she offers practical tips to improve your sleep hygiene. Curious about whether naps and caffeine mix? Or what a 'coffee nap' is? Terry's got you covered.
She also touches on common sleep problems like snoring and sleep apnea, explaining how they can lead to serious health concerns. If you’re tired of feeling tired, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you reclaim your nights. Tune in and discover how prioritizing good sleep can transform your overall well-being.
