DH 's blog :: alcohol
Two days ago I had the big job interview I mentioned in my earlier blog. Yesterday I nursed a celebration hang-over and last night I stayed well away from any form of alcohol. Today I woke up after a deep and satisfying night of sleep expecting to be full of energy to fulfill my realistic to-do list. Instead, however, I have struggled all day just to keep my eyes open.
Two cups of coffee (which I was also going to stop drinking as of today) didn't do the trick. I got some consulting work done but then felt like lead as I sunk into the sofa and pretty much gave up on the rest of my to-do list.
I said no to meeting friends at the pub tonight (so that will make two nights in a row that I've not indulged in alcohol) - so that's a good thing. Perhaps my habit of drinking almost every night with friends has resulted in major sleep deprivation (I read somewhere along the way that alcohol prevents one from achieving a necessary level of sleep). Maybe that's why I'm so tired today? I'll keep at the NO ALCOHOL deal and see if my sluggishness lightens up. Unfortunately, I allowed my tireness to prevent me from exercising today, which only added to my sluggishness. Anyone else ever experience extreme lethargy following a decrease in alcohol consumption? Hope you are all having a great day,DH
