Headline: Expert reveals how alcohol affects our sleep
Caption: If you are struggling to get a good night's sleep, one effective lifestyle change you can make is to cut out alcohol. Dr Lindsay Browning, psychologist, neuroscientist and sleep expert at And So To Bed, explains how sobriety can improve your sleep. "As alcohol metabolises, it promotes wakefulness, meaning you wake more frequently in the latter half of the night.” "Alcohol also affects the normal progression of the sleep stages, meaning that any sleep you get after drinking is not as restorative."
