01The Science (Physiological Mechanism)

While alcohol may make you feel sleepy at first, your liver breaks it down within a few hours, causing a sudden rise in body temperature, sweating, and frequent awakenings after midnight.

02The Actionable Rule & Biometric Benchmark

Leave a 3-hour buffer between your last drink and bedtime, and pair each drink with a glass of water to give your body time to process it before sleep.

03Daily Practice (1-Minute Protocol)

Finish your last evening drink at least 3 hours before turning in tonight and have a glass of water.
