I hope I don't come across as the "well ackshually" guy, and I'm not definitely telling you to change, but maybe this could be useful to you: the alcohol episode of Huberman Lab podcast mentioned briefly at about 1:02:40 that in a discussion with a UC Berkley sleep researcher, it was said that having any alcohol at all on board interferes with sleep to the point that those in the field call it pseudo-sleep because it lacks most of the restorative value of sleep.




Cheers - I misremembered that it was a Stanford researcher. Updated my comment.


Thanks for the recommendation. I definitely will be geeking out on that series now!


Glad you are interested. Keep in mind that his talk of supplements should be weighed with the knowledge that he is financially involved with supplement companies. It's not a secret, but worth some awareness.


Are you saying that my favorite fictional Medical Doctor (House) passing out on Bourbon every night due to insomnia is an inadequate prescription?


Alls I'm saying is that House might be distinctly grumpy because he's still not sleeping well..
