Alcohol disrupts our sleep patterns, which can have a negative impact on our internal physical, emotional, and psychological health. It's important to understand how alcohol affects our bodies so we can make informed decisions about our consumption.
Ever wondered why your sleep is a mess after a night of drinking? In this episode of 'Sober Gratitudes', Sarah Elizabeth sits down with Gill, a biochemist and a woman in recovery, to chat about the sneaky ways alcohol messes with our sleep. Gill’s story is one many can relate to—she spent five years trying to moderate her drinking before realizing it was a losing battle.
Now, she’s embraced sobriety and is on a mission to understand the science behind why alcohol wreaks havoc on our bodies and minds. With degrees in Chemistry and Biology, Gill dives into the nitty-gritty of how alcohol affects our sleep patterns, leading to a cascade of physical, emotional, and psychological issues. But it's not just about the science. Gill shares her personal experiences with addiction, the false comfort of moderation, and the eventual clarity that came with sobriety.
Sarah and Gill also touch on important topics like endorphins, the dangers of denial, and how trauma plays into addiction. They highlight the importance of understanding these factors to make better choices for our health and well-being. If you’re curious about the real impact of alcohol on your sleep and overall health, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
