I've read that alcohol is generally not recommended because it disrupts your sleeping patterns. Certainly, large amounts of it do so for me.
A while ago I tried eliminating all caffeine (I typically drink a lot of diet Coke and coffee). The first few days were hell, and I pretty much sat staring blankly at my computer. Then I had a couple of really magical days where I felt quite alert even in the typically drowsy afternoons. And what was weird was that I seemed to dream more vividly (and remember my dreams). Then I fell off the wagon... at some point I need to try that experiment again, because I think I was onto something.
- anigbrowl 17y agoYeah a big drink will do that. If I'm having a nightcap then it's just a thimbleful rather than a tumbler; I like fine whiskey, and it's sufficiently expensive that I restrict myself to little sips rather than full measures.
- msluyter 17y agoYes, one thing that I've read also helps is having a sort of nightly ritual. It conditions your mind to expect to go to sleep through repetition. It sounds like your glass of whiskey also may serve that purpose.
- weaksauce 17y agoIt's probably the routine more than the liqueur that gets you primed for bed at those levels.
