Giving Up Alcohol May Improve Your Sleep, Claims Study
NDTV
A 2022 review of research on month-long alcohol abstention showed that participants frequently reported sleep improvements.
Studies indicate that consuming even one or two alcoholic beverages in the evening is linked to a decrease in sleep quality. While alcohol might assist some individuals in falling asleep more quickly, it can disrupt sleep patterns throughout the night.
“So you're not getting the restorative sleep you would get without alcohol,” Aaron White, the senior scientific adviser to the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism told The Washington Post.
Mr White added, "Also, once the alcohol wears off, there can be a rebound effect, causing some people to wake up early and have trouble falling back asleep."
