Many of us use alcohol to unwind after a long or stressful day. We may also use alcohol as a coping mechanism, for personal reasons such as divorce, bereavement, or work-related problems. However, regularly drinking over the guidelines may make you less able to deal with stress – especially if your body is still dealing with last night’s alcohol intake.
Drinking can affect your sleep. Although it can help some people fall asleep quickly, it can disrupt your sleep patterns and stop you from sleeping deeply. So cutting down on alcohol should help you feel more rested when you wake up.
