Quit alcohol 29 days ago. Falling asleep and sleeping in general is SOO much better!
Hope you're hanging in there! Day 7 for me.
@@CarnivorousHypertrophy Yes! 5 months, 2 days! Never going back! Thanks for checking! Being sober is the only way to go to be the best version of myself I can. Blessings to all!
Congrats guys. Keep it going!
7 mos. 5 days. One of the best choices Ive ever made. Clean and sober!
Same here. It's unreal how good the sleep is now after I quit alcohol!
I’ve been waking up every night at 3 and can’t go back to sleep this all started when I binge drink on weekend alcohol causes me so many problems physically mentally and emotionally I’ve quitter before and life was gd now I’ve decided never again is not worth it one night of fun for 3 4 days of depression
Thanks for pulling this out of the longer interview. I wanted to share this info on alcohol with a loved one.
Matt Walker's audible book "Why We Sleep" is well worth a listen for anyone wanting to dive deeper into all facets of sleep and its impacts. The studies on the effects of alcohol on unborn fetus' was particularly interesting. Just one drink from Mum was enough to impact the REM/NREM sleep of babies with growing evidence to link frequent ingestion to the disruption in the child's development. Going through the journey of reducing (and trying to eliminate) alcohol intake myself and just after a night or two of not drinking the quality of sleep is really noticed. Dreams are way more vivid, feel rested in the morning, feel less anxious. Very thankful that folk like Huberman and Matt Walker are sharing this research so publicly and raising awareness.
Love the podcast and listen weekly on Apple Music. Could you do a series on alcohol and its effects on muscle recovery, hormones, brain and memory? A lot of people in the world drink every week if not everyday. Thanks!
I need to stop drinking. 😞
Did you? You can do it bud, I promise. As someone who quit IV heroin and has been an on and off hard drinker over the years, I promise you can do it. And you'll be better for it.
The true problem for me is couple of days after drinking. The night I drink I sleep very well (at least I think so), but then in the following days I literally nap in the night and am not able to get a good sleep.
SUGGESTIONS: Dr Huberman. Could you please do a whole episode about recreational use of alcohol?
He has
I thought REM sleep was when people dream, which is weird because alcoholism has made my dreams completely insane. Weird, vivid events just happen every single night, when I used to dream rarely. I have frequent nightmares now, and I also fiend for liquor/hide my liquor in my dreams. It truly takes over the human psyche at the most primal level.
do you drink every day ? how much do u drink
Hope you can get better brother, you’ll be okay one day again
you dream when youre on the verge on waking up, you dont dream during rem.
Strange, alcohol makes my dreams normal or non-existent. I literally only have insane dreams when I’m completely sober
i wake up many time, i had many drinks before bed and i remember every time i wake up, i will never drink again,
Just in case you are looking at your comments, I want to say thank you and I love listening to your podcasts although this is the first time I express it. Guess I treat a lot of UA-cam videos like radio. Heartfelt thanks!
Great information that needs to be shared. I've started drinking heavier in the last year or so and I've definitely noticed a struggle in getting a good night's sleep. I'll definitely be reducing/stopping my regular drinking for my own mental sake. Great podcast
Start sipppinnn the wookkkk Ryann
Hey I hope you’re doing better ryan
Thank you so much!
Alcohol will negatively effect my sleep quality even for after 1 week of the last intake of a drink in combination of my troubled sleeping patterns during the winter months.
I got so sensitive to this throughout the years and it takes about 2 weeks withdrawal to recover from this effect
Kindling!
That's what made me quit for good. Even just 1 drink makes me shake and have terrible withdrawls
These guys are just great. They both are in my top 5 favorite guest from the Joe Rogan Experience. Can’t get enough of their content!
Would you recommend anyone else with similar content?
Every time I drink I wake up after 3-4 hours and can’t go back to sleep
I always wonder why people's sensitivity to sleep deprivation varies so much...?
Hi, I have a question, how about certain herb tea before night that should help You with a sleep. Does they affect the qualitt of sleep in possitive way or not really?
Would prescribed medication such as olanzipine teva 20mg affect sleep quality
Watching this while I am drinking
This is what i get when alcohol is in my body like rn. I can't sleep like tf. It's 1:30 in the morning rn tf
I feel like I'm paying a price for drinking even one beer a day. Don't recall having disrupted sleep from alcohol in the past but at age 43 I have noticeably more trouble staying asleep.
Insomnia is FUELED by the desire for better sleep. Stop trying. It will keep you awake.
THAT matters more than any of these other factors.
This is true lol whenever I really plan for an early night I can never sleep 🤣
In retrospect that’s exactly true
I agree with your statement....however would you agree that alcohol can effect emotion and anxiety levels? As a result emotional oversensivity from alcohol may be contributing to the entire insomnia stew. It may not be a total solve but abstinence can help some people reduce that anxiety + sensitivity.
You are cute Dr. Huberman. Keep steady kicking butt on your informative videos. Cheers ☕
I get punctured awakaning. I need to quit caffeine to during the day.
Well last night I had approx. 1 standard drink only before bed and had a dream my dad was trying to cut me with a box cutter. So, it affects dreams for sure. Found out my white blood cell count is 2.7 K/uL after blood draw lab examination. Doc typed that is a low amount. Not so low that I can't wait 3 months to do a re-check. My liver function is normal she typed but I read even just occasional above moderate alcohol consumption lowers WBC count so lol UGH I'm quitting alcohol for 3 months well for that long anyways.🤣😂💩👀😱
I don't feel it is helpful that scientists talk about alcohol as if it has agency, a will, an intent.
So I prefer day drinking personally bc I won’t be hungover the next day. But do you think day drinking will still effect my night time sleep quality?
yes it will effect your night time sleep
It depends on metabolization. If your body is able to fully metabolize alcohol before sleep, the better the sleep quality. You will have been sober hours before going to bed
before this takes place.
Matt Walker talks about coffee having a half-life of about 6 - 8 hours. But the quarter-life is around 12 - 14 hours.
This varies person to person.
However, biologically with alcohol, people will metabolize alcohol at wildly different rates. Tolerance, how much you've had to eat, and
natural biology all play a part.
So, in many ways, it may be impossible for the average person to gauge how alcohol will affect oneself.
Going to bed drunk is the worst youre basically passed out asleep and drunk as a skunk. Some people drink til they pass out. I got a friend who will drink a 24 pack in a day easy hel chug 3 beers back to back in under 1 minute.
@@jacoriadams source? Trying to find studies on this
Can you activate the subtitles in Spanish please? 🙏
i wonder, is alchohol induced sleep better than no sleep at all? gotta be
it's basically the same because when I drink and wake up next morning, it feels like I didn't get any sleep at all, I feel very tired
No not at all, its a poor bandaid solution to a bigger deeper problem. There is a ton of information and studies floating around on the internet to help people learn about their sleep and why they might struggle with it, there are also proffessionals that can help you with it. Sure, if you have tried literally every natural or clinical remedy for insomnia/struggle to sleep, maybe you can have that conversation. But the reality is, statements like that are a cop out for people who dont really want to address the problem and would rather a quick fix.
1 single beer affects my sleep even if I drink that beer at 1pm and go to bed at 11pm
Man this is why I feel like poop
A 50 percent decrease in Growth Hormone.
Yeah, that really caught my attention too !
Something noteworthy to add is that intermittent fasting increases HGH by 2000% !
Chilean red wine 🍷 makes me so drowsy but I'm not a alcohol drinker. I don't like not being alert.
I've noticed the same with Chilean red wine it knocks your socks off!... To add extra evidence ,an expert told me Chilean is the best red too.... it's some crazy juju for sure😄👍
@@johnman559 my ex boyfriend of 7years was from Santiago Chile'. He was very proud of Chilean red wine. We drank it once a month and yes it sneaks up on your body system and kicks butt
@@memastarful Sadly sweet B, I think once a month is about my limit now.😫
@@johnman559 I understand 👍
O You Who Believe! Indeed, wine, gambling, idols, and divining arrows (a way of gambling) are evil and of Satan’s act; therefore, leave them aside in order that you may prosper." - Surah Maida Verse 90 - Quran
Y’all just aren’t high enough to counteract the booze during REM
Mister Walker, alcohol both in its chemical nature and it's effects is way far away from sedatives, depressant sounds even better than anything that "sedates". But yeah, a bottle of red after a month of brake can potentially make a person both happy and sleepy.
Teetotaling (or Total Abstinence): Another reason why Donald J. Trump is a great father and a good example for young American males.
Please stop drinking or you may end up like Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell, or Philip Seymour Hoffman; not worth it.
Trump the serial adulterer is a good example for young Americans 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But alcohol isn't a sedative, it's a depressant. First thing's first👍
It's both.
That’s the class of drugs they put it in. Bro do you even listen or are you drunk
same thing there, Einstein
I can’t listen to huberman anymore. He just won’t shut the f up. Just loves to hear himself talk. Don’t believe me? Go to any of his podcast and skip to a random point. It’s hubermsn saying something. Usually repetitive and using tons of words to say very little. Just let the fing EXPERT speak. Rogan has it dialed.
Haha you must be joking but you know 95% of his podcasts are just him covering a subject, not an interview. He is also clear and concise and provides a large amount of content in an efficient manner. Rogan only interviews people.
Unlike Rogan, Huberman is an expert. When he has a fellow neuroscientist on, he's capable of talking on a much higher level. Sure, the guest is bringing a niche expertise, but Huberman undoubted can make meaningful contributions in such instances.
Great point
Why are you here listening then ? 🙄
