Sleep

Are you someone that values your sleep?Or are you a parent who day dreams about nights that you 'slept through' or had a 'lie in'?!Whichever you count yourself as - alcohol will be playing a role in affecting your sleep. No matter how much or how little you drink...In fact, not only will alcohol affect the quality of your sleep - it also plays an integral role to your sobriety and your avoidance of a relapse.If you ask 1000 newly sober people what benefits they have felt in the early days of giving up the grog - we would guess that almost all of them would mention better sleep!In today's episode Hame and Vic take a deeper look into the science of sleep and its importance to our mental and physical health. We certainly aren't scientists but we can confirm we are far nicer people to be around after a good nights sleep. We do not miss the room spinning, the loo seat naps or the 3am wake ups feeling wide awake and unable to get back down. We also binge on a lot less chocolate and a little less Netflix when we aren't feeling exhausted and hungover.(We promise that this will not be as boring as most of the conversations two parents have about sleep! Although we have had many conversations like this dull enough to put us to sleep so ... silver linings and all that!)Enjoy the episode!This episode of Sober Awkward is brought to you by leading Grey Area Drinking coach Sarah Rusbatch.
