Everyone knows alcohol messes with sleep — but nobody really talks about what happens when you actually start drinking less. Because here’s the weird part: your sleep might actually get worse before it gets better. So today, I’ll break down why that happens, how long it really takes your brain and body to reset, and what you can do in the meantime — whether you’re moderating or taking a full break. I’ve got some fresh science, practical tips, and hopefully a bit of encouragement for you too. Let’s get into it.Want to drink less with no pressure to quit?
