Alcohol affects all parts of our body, including our sleep. No matter how much or how little you drink, it plays an integral role in affecting your sleep and your sobriety.
Picture this: you’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wishing for just one night of uninterrupted sleep. Whether you’re a sleep-deprived parent or someone who just values a good night's rest, alcohol might be sabotaging your dreams. In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish dive into the fascinating world of sleep and its crucial role in sobriety. Ever wondered why you wake up at 3am, wide awake and unable to drift back off?
Or why those nights after a few drinks feel like you're on a merry-go-round? It turns out, alcohol is a major culprit in disrupting our sleep cycles, regardless of how much or how little you drink. Vic and Hamish aren't scientists, but they bring a refreshing mix of humor and honesty as they unpack the science behind sleep and its importance for both mental and physical health.
They share personal anecdotes about those dreadful nights of room spinning and loo seat naps, contrasting them with the blissful, uninterrupted sleep they enjoy now in sobriety. The hosts also offer practical tips for improving sleep quality during recovery. From creating a cozy sleep environment to ditching the habit of using alcohol as a sleep aid, their advice is both relatable and actionable.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of poor sleep and addiction. Tune in to learn how prioritizing your rest can make you a nicer person to be around and help you maintain your sobriety.
