Avoid alcohol for better sleep



Now a day people stay so busy. Taking out time and recharging for good night sleep is too much required. The quality and quantity of the sleep can make all the difference in how productive will be the next day. Sleep loss is a common problem. One of the sleep tips is to avoid alcohol in the late afternoon and evening. Sleep loss may interfere with the body’s ability to metabolize carbohydrates and cause high blood levels of glucose, a basic sugar. The excess glucose promotes the over production of insulin, which can promote the storage of body fat and can also lead to insulin resistance, a critical feature of adult-onset diabetes.
Tips to have better sleep
Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule including weekends. Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath and then reading a book or listening to soothing music. Create a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows. Use bedroom only for sleep and sex. It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment. Finish eating at least two to three hours before regular bedtime. Exercise regularly. It is best to complete workout at least a few hours before bedtime. Avoid nicotine close to bedtime, it can lead to poor sleep. Avoid caffeine too. Avoid alcohol close to bedtime. It can lead to disrupted sleep later in the night.
Alcohol can lead to insomnia
Never mix alcohol and sleeping pills. Alcohol increases the narcotic effects of the pills. Even a small amount of alcohol combined with sleeping pills can make one feel dizzy, confused or faint. Even in small doses, alcohol can cause early sleepiness, awaking during the night and suppression of rapid eye movement sleep. A cortisol rhythm thrown off by troubled sleep could make a person more cancer-prone. Another hormone called melatonin, pumped out by the brain during sleep, is an anti-oxidant capable of preventing damage to DNA that can lead to cancer. Sleep can be the weapon against cancer. The use of alcohol is detrimental to the functioning of the hormones of the body and can act as a source for cancer too.
