Think wine helps you sleep? Think again.

Everybody that says they have a glass of wine before they go to bed is absolutely lying. Feels good, though. It's not really the alcohol, it's what the alcohol becomes. Alcohol becomes something called acetyl aldehyde, which is a very acidic compound, highly acidic compound. So it actually slightly lowers the PH of the blood. And so as we get more acidic, lower in ph, this is what gives us headaches and interrupts our cellular metabolism, doesn't allow us to get into deep sleep, for that matter. Sleep is the human superpower, but people don't realize, you know, why is sleep our human superpower? I understand that I'm resting calm, and my mind is relax, but what's physiologically going on during sleep? And so what happens is in deep sleep, the brain is eliminating waste. This happens during deep sleep. It activates the glymphatic system, so your brain flushes toxins. Well, if you don't get into deep sleep, you never actually use that glymphatic drainage system. So people wake up foggy, drowsy, groggy. You never flush those toxins.
