Sleep Science

As an alcohol and substance abuse counselor, I’ve found that most of my clients do not get enough quality sleep. And, the more I’ve studied sleep, the more I‘ve come to realize that most people in the general population don’t get good sleep. There are many reasons for poor sleep patterns, and I’m going to uncover some of those reasons for you, whether you’re dealing with alcohol or substance abuse or not. I’ll also address how sleep is altered as a result of alcohol and illicit drug use. Finally, I’ll discuss what you can do to improve your sleep without relying on modern pharmaceuticals, over the counter sleep aids, prescription drugs, and even melatonin, all of which do not present a long term solution for quality sleep and usually leads to Rebound Insomnia.
