Day 6: 3 Drinks That Destroy Your Sleep Quality (avoid these before bed)

In this video, there are 3 different beverages that we’re going to talk about:

1. Water
2. Coffee
3. Alcohol

What you may not know is that there’s an optimal (and un-optimal) time to drink these beverages. Let’s dive into what they are…

1. Water

Water is something that we ALL need—from skin health to joint health to gut health and more…

I’m always telling people to drink half their body weight in water, but when is the best time to drink it?

I recommend starting your day off with a glass of water, but not ending the day with water.

Why?

Simple: You’ll wake up in the middle of the night to go pee!

A general rule of thumb that I live by is no liquids two hours before bedtime.

Okay, onto the second beverage to avoid before bedtime…

2. Coffee

Coffee is a morning ritual for many. Personally, I love when it’s paired with one of our collagen coffee creamers.

However, coffee too late into the day is a recipe for disaster when it comes to your sleep.

And if you’re someone who struggles with their sleep, it’s ideal if you limit your coffee intake to just one cup a day—before noon.

3. Alcohol

Many people use alcohol at the end of the day as a “nightcap” to help them wind down and relax.

The downside to drinking alcohol before bed is that it tuns off the release of your human growth hormone (HGH). So, you may go to sleep, but your body isn’t repairing and rebuilding damaged tissue like it otherwise would without alcohol.

To avoid this happening, I recommend drinking alcohol no sooner than four hours before bedtime. So if you’re going to bed at 10:00 PM, you want to be done drinking no later than 6:00 PM.

So, What Should You Drink Instead?

The sleepytime drink that myself and the NativePath Team swear by is Collagen PM.

With melatonin, GABA, magnesium, L-theanine, and collagen, it’s crafted specifically for those who…

• Struggle with falling asleep fast.
• Find themselves tossing and turning throughout the night.
• Fail to get deep, restorative sleep for at least 7 hours a night.

I recommend starting with just a half scoop of either Honey Chamomile, Lemon, or Chocolate powder (over the course of a week, you can gradually increase to a full scoop, if needed) and mixing it with either warm milk or water.

Sip on that 30 minutes before going to bed and you’ll feel a wave of relaxation, helping you to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer.
