Tim Ferriss Protocols

Alcohol can disrupt your sleep architecture, particularly the REM (rapid eye movement) stage, which is crucial for memory and emotional processing. Drinking too close to bedtime often results in a disrupted sleep cycle, leading to poorer quality sleep and less restorative rest. By allowing a buffer of at least three hours, you give your body enough time to metabolize the alcohol, reducing its sleep-disturbing effects.

This protocol balances the social and cultural benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, such as enhanced sociability and relaxation, with the lack of substantial health benefits from drinking.

Alcohol, in essence, does not contribute positively to health and can lead to numerous health issues when consumed in excess. By setting a cap on weekly intake, you can enjoy social occasions without the adverse health effects associated with higher levels of consumption.

Also: try and avoid more than 2 per day.
