What about alcohol? It's easy to drift off after a night of drinking, but does that mean it's actually helping you sleep? | | The Truth About Alcohol and Sleep It may be tempting to have a glass of wine or bourbon before bedtime to wind down and help you fall asleep, but alcohol and sleep don't mix!
Even just a couple drinks can decrease your sleep quality by up to 40%.
So why does alcohol make it easy to fall asleep in the first place? And is a single nightcap really that bad?
You might fall asleep faster, but at what cost? Discover how alcohol is disrupting your sleep and how to fix it. | | Cannabis: Highs and Lows of Indulging at Bedtime With so many types of cannabis out there, navigating which can improve your sleep can be tricky.
Certain types can help you relax and drift off, while others can actually disrupt your sleep.
Discover the risks and benefits of cannabis for sleep: - How it can improve sleep in people with chronic pain
- How it compares to traditional sleep aids

B. CBD calms the nervous system and helps treat anxiety
C. Cannabis increases melatonin production
D. Indica strains force the body into deep sleep Scroll to the bottom for the answer! | | Unlock Restful Sleep Cannabis and alcohol might be commonly used as supplements for sleep, but when it comes to getting deep, restorative rest, melatonin and magnesium are often more effective.

That's why Sleep is the Foundation created carefully crafted magnesium and melatonin supplements designed to work in sync with your body's natural circadian rhythm.
These supplements help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer without the 'highs' and lows!
Seize your chance to wake up refreshed—without the hangover or headache. | | Sleep Tip of the Week Avoid alcohol at least 3-4 hours before bedtime. While it might help you fall asleep faster, it disrupts deep sleep and can lead to frequent bathroom visits. | | Long-Term Cannabis Use Linked to Sleep and Memory A new study has found that long-term cannabis users (those who use more than 5 days per week during the past year) not only experience more sleep problems but also poorer spatial memory. This means long-term cannabis users struggle to remember things like directions or where they've placed objects.
Want to dive deeper into the findings? Read the full study and explore the potential effects of cannabis on your sleep and memory. | | Quiz Answer The correct answer is B. CBD calms the nervous system and helps treat anxiety, making it a potential sleep aid. You can also opt for CBD-only products to avoid the stimulating effects of THC, which can sometimes disrupt sleep. | | | | |
