[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It helps me a lot to have an electrolyte drink before bed (nuun tablet). I also wear my Fitbit to sleep and notice my sleep stats as far as which behaviors/habits prevent me from getting deep sleep (heart rate below resting level for the entire night). Alcohol does disrupt it, but hydration helps.

Taking my Claritin at night was also messing with my sleep. That plus alcohol made extra crappy sleep. Now I don’t take Claritin at bedtime. So, try and identify if medications, stress, or. other factors are contributing. When I minimize the other factors, the alcohol impact isn’t as bad.[/quote]

OP. I wear an Apple Watch and can see that the evenings I have a glass of wine with dinner, my heart rate remains elevated for much of the night and I have more frequent wakeups even if I don’t remember them all.

I actually am lucky in that I sleep well most nights and since I only have a glass of wine every two weeks or so, I have a pretty good comparison.

The tip about electrolytes is interesting and I may experiment with that. [/quote]
