Alcohol disrupts your sweet slumber
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009My friends and I talk about this every now and then… and lo and behold there is a nice article at the BBC about this very thing. Alcohol screws with your sleep!
As the article noted:
“Alcohol stops the brain from releasing vasopressin, a chemical which tells the kidneys to reabsorb water that would otherwise end up in the bladder. Without this signal, the drinker needs more frequent trips to the toilet.”
Not only does it make you have to get up to make more frequent trips to the bathroom but it disrupts your REM sleep which can leave you feeling unfulfilled… I know it always does me.
I don’t like anything getting between me and my slumber.
First off, welcome. My name is Tim and I like food… yeah, who doesn’t? I like peaches, like in the picture to the left. I am in the background wearing jeans and a white tee with blue sleeves. 3/4 sleeves mind you. I like learning about food and knowing what it is that I am putting in my body. So this blog is about knowing, learning, and everything that goes with it.
