What people say about Alcohol and sleep
“If I drink, even one beer or glass or wine but certainly if I have two or three, I sleep terribly. I'm up all night. My heart rate is elevated and I get jittery.”
“I can’t sleep without it and don’t sleep with it. Every day ends up plan to drink and hide it if I can.”
“Alcohol is limited to weekends (at which point I sleep through the night, but sleep quality is garbage).”
“Don't drink booze. My resting heart rate while I sleep on the weekends swings soooo much higher than during the week.”
