Ever pour yourself a “relaxing” drink at night — only to wake up groggy, anxious, or staring at the ceiling at 3 AM? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Mike Hardenbrook unpacks why your brain mistakes alcohol for rest, and what’s really happening when you pour that nightcap instead of actually sleeping. You’ll learn:

  • How alcohol mimics calm but sabotages real rest
  • Why your brain craves a drink after stress (and how to break that loop)
  • The difference between passing out and true recovery sleep
  • Science-backed ways to unwind — no buzz required
  • How ingredients like L-Theanine and Ashwagandha (found in Cloud9’s Daily Restore) help your body relax naturally, reduce cortisol, and support quality sleep

🎧 Tap play to learn why your late-night pour isn’t helping you rest — and how to finally get the calm your body’s been asking for.
