76. Busting the Myth 'Alcohol Helps You Sleep' with Dr Audrey Wells

In episode 76 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast Patrick is joined by Dr Audrey Wells.

Dr. Wells is a sleep medicine physician and certified mindset coach on a mission to help people sleep better so they can feel more awake and alive all day long. She offers a group coaching program and a private Facebook community for those struggling with sleep apnea and treatment, including CPAP. She also does individual coaching for those who want to up-level their productivity and potential by taking ā€œtoo tiredā€ out of the equation. 

In this episode, Patrick and Dr Wells work to bust the myth that ā€˜alcohol helps you sleepā€™. They explore how the belief ā€˜alcohol helps you sleepā€™ is reinforced and then show how the sleep you actually get is not the sleep you require.

Some of the cool things they also cover are:

  •  Why you have trouble sleeping or going back to sleep  
  • Drinking to sleep will come back to haunt you in the middle of the night  
  • How negative associations with your bed create anxiety  
  • How alcohol affects your upper airway muscles (snoring)  
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Strokes, heart attacks, diabetes and more  
  • Sleep and memory  
  • Acclimation to sleep deprivation is misleading  
  • The link between sleep deprivation and Alzheimer'sā  ā  
  • The importance of the glymphatic system and how alcohol disrupts it
