🍷🍽️ Holiday Fun Can Disrupt Your Sleep — Here’s How Alcohol & Big Meals Play a Role
The holidays are here, and with them come festive dinners, treats, and celebratory drinks. But did you know these can have a big impact on your sleep?
Here’s what happens:
🔹 Alcohol may make you feel sleepy at first…
But it actually causes lighter, more disrupted sleep and increases snoring or sleep apnea symptoms.
🔹 Big meals late at night = restless nights
Indigestion, acid reflux, and discomfort can make it tough to fall asleep and stay asleep.
🔹 Both can make snoring and sleep apnea worse
Alcohol relaxes the airway, and heavy meals put extra pressure on your breathing.
Holiday Sleep Tips:
✔️ Avoid alcohol close to bedtime
✔️ Eat heavier meals earlier in the evening
✔️ Stick to your normal sleep routine
✔️ Stay hydrated and go for lighter snacks if you’re hungry late at night
Taking small steps can help you feel more rested—and enjoy the holiday season even more! ❄️💤
If nighttime symptoms worsen during the holidays, our sleep specialists at Comprehensive Sleep Care Center are here to help.
Wishing you a healthy, happy, and well-rested holiday season! 🌙✨
