New Link Between Alcohol and Sleep Problems.
The Department Of Health – Shines a light on new research that links sleep problems with alcohol use. The research states that more the 50% of drinkers are unware of this link. Drinkers often feel that a drink or two will help them fall asleep – not the case.
More often than not your body is in a state of cleaning house meaning that as you slumber your body isn’t really resting at all, therefore the quality of your sleep is affected, leaving you feeling tired and sometimes even hungover the next morning.
To avaiod this feeling of sleepiness, researchers suggest that you avoid drinking too much alcohol prior to bed time, this way your body has enough time to metabolize the alcohol. When you awake you’ll feel more refreshed, and you’ll have a lot less explaining to do, particularly if you had one too many shots of the bottle.

I’d certainly agree with this article, having endured sleeplessness, fitful sleeping, night ‘horrors’ and guilt. But. as I now begin to follow Olivier Amiesen’s baclofen programme, I am now enjoying hours and hours of anxiety-free sleep, that is of the two-glasses-of-wine-a-night type (I am almost alcohol-free), even with amazing, lucid and happy alcohol-free dreams (I had lost the capacity to dream) — I even dreamt the Queen was sitting on my lap the other night.
