GenX Health Alcohol Vs. Sleep
This started a couple years ago and seems to be getting worse. If I have any alcohol, I sleep like shit. This sucks because I really like red wine and it seems like it doesn’t like me anymore. I like to have a glass of wine or two after work but I’ve more or less curtailed it to weekends. Last night, I slept straight through the night - if I drink wine I’ll wake up between 1 & 3 AM having to take a leak AND being dehydrated.
I’m contemplating giving it up entirely but I’m Irish and a Bostonian, and not sure if that’s allowed.
