Three or four years ago, I noticed a correlation between #alcohol consumption and very poor #sleep quality. I cut out beer and mixed drinks, limiting myself to sharing a single bottle of #wine with my wife once a week.

The effects of alcohol still plague me on those nights (typically Sundays, so Mondays I’m exhausted). The first image shows my heart rate over night after wine consumption, and the other screenshot is a fairly typical night when I didn’t have any wine. You can see how different they are.

I’m keeping a list of wines which don’t cause these issues, but that list so far is really short. Totally trial and error. I’m looking for more.

If anyone else has found strategies which help mitigate this issue, I’d love to hear what they are, aside from cutting out wine entirely. Thanks for any help!
