Agree.

Of all the negatives, I think diminished sleep is the one that doesn’t get enough attention.

It’s superficial sleep at best. You’re up peeing 3,4,5 times a night. You never enter REM sleep. You’re dragging the entire next day. All to do it over again to your body the next day?

Of the people that I know that drink actively almost every day, they look like shit, and lack motivation.

Their body is crying out for rest and better food but they just keep drinking through their signals.

So just like being a parent then.


not a sleep expert by I think the biggest impact is on deep sleep, not REM
