Sleep is crucial to all your long-term recovery goals. If you’re having trouble sleeping, better sleep habits during the day and at night can help you get the solid 8 hours of rest you’re looking for.
It’s that time of year again. We’re falling back. Oh no – not on old habits that don’t serve us. We’re done with those. We’re shedding old thoughts and behaviors like leaves falling crisply from the trees. But we are falling back an hour, as Daylight Saving Time ends.
The short answer to this question is a loud and clear yes. If you’re struggling with addiction, it’s likely that you’re also having a hard time getting to sleep, staying asleep, or staying awake. The same neurotransmitters that regulate sleep are affected by drinking, drug use, and other addictive behaviors. It all starts and ends in the brilliant, boggling brain.
Ahhhhh, quality sleep! Who doesn't love it? It's healthy and feels great, and humans are born naturally awesome at it. But sometimes addictive behaviors can sabotage our sleep by getting us in wonky sleep cycles.
