At this point, we’ve all heard of Dry January, that time of year you stay off the drink for the first month of the year, no matter how challenging it may get.
Staying away from the drink for a month can have huge benefits, especially when it comes to your mental health, wellbeing and sleep pattern. While the benefits on the outside are encouraged by doctors, Dr Piper added that it’s what’s happening on the inside that can be even more beneficial. She told Her.ie: “Alcohol can reduce the amount of rapid eye movement sleep you get. This can make you feel drowsy and affect your concentration during the day. You might need to give your body time to adjust to falling asleep without alcohol. Once you do, you should find that your sleeping pattern improves and you will feel more rested, look fresher and have better energy.”
Both Dr. Piper and Dr. Sheehan recommend speaking to your GP or a medical professional if you have concerns about cutting out drink suddenly, and weaning yourself off gradually might be a more suitable option, with the advice of a professional.
