Do you feel like drinking alcohol helps you sleep? The science tells a different story.
While you may be ‘passed out’, you’re not getting the benefits of proper sleep, as alcohol causes cortisol (the stress hormone) to rise ⬆️
It also prevents REM sleep - responsible for emotional regulation. So while you may not feel ‘hungover’ the next day, it’s likely that you feel tired or in a low mood - even after just one glass of wine the night before.
In this week’s episode we’re talking about the impact of alcohol for women in midlife, and how to begin reducing alcohol — or support someone who is — without judgment or shame.
