Day 37 - How are you sleeping?

Alcohol and other drugs can have a significant effect on sleep quality.

When we stop drinking, it often takes considerable time to establish normalized sleep patterns. Different people need different amounts of sleep. Get to know your ideal number of hours, and sleep only as much as you need.

Practice good sleep hygiene by getting up at the same time each day, seven days per week! Make sure the bedroom is comfortable and free from light and noise. Don’t go to bed hungry and try to avoid excess liquids in the evening to prevent needing to urinate in the middle of the night. Wait until you pee before getting into bed.

Cut down on caffeine products, and don’t take your problems to bed. Consider a nightly prayer and meditation practice to prioritize and this area of your routine!
