Luckie’s Quick Tips: Avoid This Before Going To Bed

Luckie’s Sleep Tip: Avoid Alcohol Before Sleep

BENEFITS

• Promotes high quality sleep. Though alcohol may put you to sleep, it negatively affects sleep quality. As alcohol is metabolized, it wakes up the brain, causing sleep disruption.
• Can assist in getting 7-8 hours of sleep. 7-8 hour of high quality sleep can assist with:

1. Appetite control
2. Energy improvement
3. Stress reduction
4. Production of growth hormone for calorie-burning muscle
5. Optimal performance during exercise
6. Maximum results for race or other competitive sporting event

HOW TO DO: Avoid nightcaps because your body needs time to process the alcohol. If you must drink alcohol, do so several hours before sleep.
