It’s the myth we’ve all heard (or lived): “A glass of wine helps me sleep.” But what if that glass is actually wrecking your rest?
In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook breaks down the sneaky truth about alcohol and sleep. Spoiler: that cozy buzz might knock you out fast, but it’s also ruining your REM, messing with your stress hormones, and leaving you exhausted the next day.
We’re diving into:
- Why alcohol is a sleep imposter (and what science actually says)
- How disrupted sleep messes with your brain, mood, metabolism, and mental health
- The vicious cycle between wine, stress, and anxiety — and how to break it
- Smart tools for sleeping better without booze: wind-down rituals, sleep hacks, and how to cut back gradually
- The power of the sober curious movement — and what happens when you finally start waking up rested
No shame. No lectures. Just real talk, real science, and a practical guide to better sleep — with or without the wine.
🎧 Tap play to finally get the rest your brain, body, and whole life deserves.
