🔼: # Alcohol --- Alcohol drastically lowers [[💡 Neuroplasticity]]. Though alcohol can put you to [[⭐️ Sleep]], it also disrupts [[⭐️ Sleep]]. Even one serving of alcohol can cause negative sleep changes. Alcohol is a sedative, but sedation is not sleep. Alcohol can activate the fight-or-flight branch of the nervous system and stimulate neurotransmitters that are likely to cause fragmented sleep.
