Alcohol-Triggered Sleep Debt
Alcohol-triggered sleep debt builds when drink nights thin REM and deep sleep while wake times stay early—readiness lags despite hours in bed.
Alcohol-triggered sleep debt accumulates when repeated drink nights cut REM and deep sleep quality without reducing early alarms—performance and mood lag even if you are in bed seven hours. Debt shows as stacked low readiness, cravings, and irritability midweek after back-to-back social events.
Recovery needs alcohol-free nights and consistent wake times, not weekend lie-ins alone.
Common questions
-
