It
is received wisdom that a drink or two in the evening helps us to relax and sets
us up for a great night’s sleep. But unfortunately that’s not the case. Too
much alcohol or alcohol too close to bedtime has a detrimental effect on the
quality of our sleep: it can make you wake up more often throughout the night and
it reduces our time in the deepest and most restorative phases of sleep. Researchers
at Brown University have also recently discovered that the effects of drinking
in the evening (compared to other times of day) are significantly more
stimulating. This provides another compelling piece of evidence that alcohol’s
role as an “aid” to sleep is misguided. So rather than having a nightcap to send you to slumber town why not try snuggling up in one of our beautiful Bronte Merino Lambswool Throws, lighting a Calming, Therapeutic Candle and sipping on a soothing mug of chamomile tea instead!
Sleep Tight!
