While I'm aware this will make me sound smug, I generally consider myself a good sleeper. Since giving up alcohol nearly four years ago, I have transitioned from disrupted sleep and experiencing long-term sleep deprivation to staying asleep all night and generally feeling refreshed each morning.

It's common to describe getting a good night's rest by saying we've had a really deep sleep. But in reality, actual deep sleep is just a portion of the 7 to 9 hours sleep that's recommended for adults. Deep sleep — also known as slow wave sleep or N3 sleep — is still vital though, as it's "the most restorative stage of sleep," explains UKCP-registered psychotherapist specialising in sleep and author of How to Be Awake (So You Can Sleep Through the Night), Heather Darwall-Smith.

By the time I stopped drinking alcohol in April 2021, I was exhausted. Partly it was an emotional weariness, from a cycle of heavy drinking and the ever more severe anxiety I experienced as a result. But it was also actual physical exhaustion, because I rarely slept well and was trapped in a cycle of trying to catch up by napping or sleeping all day. Four years on, I have a completely different relationship with both alcohol and sleep.
