Barb's Medical Minute

Two things that affects our sleep quality, and not in a good way, are caffeine and alcohol. (Darn!) 

  • Caffeine has a half-life between 5 & 8 hours which means that ½ the dose is still in your system that many hours later. And it adds up throughout the day when consuming drinks and food (like chocolate). Even if you can fall asleep, your brain is more active with caffeine, so it isn’t resting.
  • Alcohol has been found to decrease sleep quality by 39% in quantities of 2 servings for men, and 1 serving for women. Added bonus: alcohol is a diuretic, making you more likely to have to wake up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night…again, and then you stub your toe,


I just have to take the fun out of everything, don’t I?

Pastor Dave Hess, Dan & Barbara Horswell, Pat Ross and Diane VanderKraats.
