How Alcohol Affects Sleep

Alcohol may make you feel sleepy, but it actually disrupts your sleep cycle, leading to restless nights and poor-quality rest. It reduces the time you spend in REM sleep, fragments your sleep with frequent awakenings, and worsens conditions like snoring and sleep apnea. Over time, alcohol can lead to chronic fatigue, mood swings, and long-term health problems. By cutting back on alcohol and choosing healthier alternatives like Cut Above alcohol-free spirits, you can enjoy better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and energized.
