    Matt Walker's audible book "Why We Sleep" is well worth a listen for anyone wanting to dive deeper into all facets of sleep and its impacts. The studies on the effects of alcohol on unborn fetus' was particularly interesting. Just one drink from Mum was enough to impact the REM/NREM sleep of babies with growing evidence to link frequent ingestion to the disruption in the child's development. Going through the journey of reducing (and trying to eliminate) alcohol intake myself and just after a night or two of not drinking the quality of sleep is really noticed. Dreams are way more vivid, feel rested in the morning, feel less anxious. Very thankful that folk like Huberman and Matt Walker are sharing this research so publicly and raising awareness.

    I thought REM sleep was when people dream, which is weird because alcoholism has made my dreams completely insane. Weird, vivid events just happen every single night, when I used to dream rarely. I have frequent nightmares now, and I also fiend for liquor/hide my liquor in my dreams. It truly takes over the human psyche at the most primal level.

    Well last night I had approx. 1 standard drink only before bed and had a dream my dad was trying to cut me with a box cutter. So, it affects dreams for sure. Found out my white blood cell count is 2.7 K/uL after blood draw lab examination. Doc typed that is a low amount. Not so low that I can't wait 3 months to do a re-check. My liver function is normal she typed but I read even just occasional above moderate alcohol consumption lowers WBC count so lol UGH I'm quitting alcohol for 3 months well for that long anyways.🤣😂💩👀😱

      I agree with your statement....however would you agree that alcohol can effect emotion and anxiety levels? As a result emotional oversensivity from alcohol may be contributing to the entire insomnia stew. It may not be a total solve but abstinence can help some people reduce that anxiety + sensitivity.

    • @JonJon-bx1ww
      @JonJon-bx1ww ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It depends on metabolization. If your body is able to fully metabolize alcohol before sleep, the better the sleep quality. You will have been sober hours before going to bed
      before this takes place.
      Matt Walker talks about coffee having a half-life of about 6 - 8 hours. But the quarter-life is around 12 - 14 hours.
      This varies person to person.
      However, biologically with alcohol, people will metabolize alcohol at wildly different rates. Tolerance, how much you've had to eat, and
      natural biology all play a part.
      So, in many ways, it may be impossible for the average person to gauge how alcohol will affect oneself.

      @robbo1234 ปีที่แล้ว

      No not at all, its a poor bandaid solution to a bigger deeper problem. There is a ton of information and studies floating around on the internet to help people learn about their sleep and why they might struggle with it, there are also proffessionals that can help you with it. Sure, if you have tried literally every natural or clinical remedy for insomnia/struggle to sleep, maybe you can have that conversation. But the reality is, statements like that are a cop out for people who dont really want to address the problem and would rather a quick fix.
