35. Limit Your Alcohol Consumption Before Bed
Yes, a nightcap, a last glass of wine or a beer before bed may help you drift off to sleep. In reality, however, people may not realize how it causes them to lay awake at night – or worse, cause them to have serious sleep problems. There is no question that alcohol is a sedative; however, its presence as well as its subsequent wear off may result in a variety of unpleasant side effects. If you drink a lot before you go to bed, it’s possible that you will experience fragmented sleep and insomnia as a result. As an alternative, make sure you haven’t consumed any alcohol at least a couple of hours before it’s time to wind down for the evening.
