Nearing midlife. The glymphatic system rose to the top of science news aggregators when it was discovered, then it got buried. There's also a good TED talk about it.

You sleep better AND wake up better

You dont wake up dehydrated and nauseous so you are a better person in the morning

Fantastic post and yes, I slept like a champ last night Joe Rogan actually had a great interview with a sleep expert that I would recommend like you said three of the most interesting insights:

  1. Alcohol, drugs and marijuana inhibit sleep. Which is a contradiction for many boozers feel like they have really good sleep when we drink and have incredible dreams. Here is actually what happens if you sleep for 8 hours and lets say that you had 6 drinks, you will spend 6 hours of your sleep detoxing and your brain won't be able to get into REM sleep then finally once your body is free of alcohol your brain will enter REM however because it has been delaying REM for 6 hours your brain will go into level 10 REM for the remaining 2 hours and that's why many people experience these powerful dreams. Problem is that it's not enough time to cycle through

  2. If we don't get enough sleep it increases the risk for dementia because our brains don't have the time to detox and so the negative chemicals compound in our brains.

  3. We never get our sleep back. We can NEVER recover from a bad nights rest. Let's say that you had only 5 hours of sleep one night and decide to sleep for 10 hours the next night to make up for the night before, it doesn't cancel out. Just because you got an extra 2 hours the next night it doesn't magically add 2 hours to the 5 previously.

Thanks man. That's a great summary and I'm glad you're sleeping well. #1 really hits home on the experience of drunk-sleep for me. I'll need to check that video out.

I quit drinking about a year ago and it's the best thing I've done for myself. Good on you guys

I slept ok last night, I kept waking up because of a baby though. The motivation to cleaning up, really.

The sleep I did get was much better though, and I was at the gym first thing early this morning. Feelsgoodman

That feeling where I felt like I was forgetting something, that weird feeling is getting weaker. I'm drinking more water and less caffeine as well.

It's still early in this challenge, but so far I do like this direction

Great news all around. Yeah that "forgetting something" feeling is dreadful. I take it to be a warning from the subconscious, I hope it goes away entirely for you.
