Research found drinking even a small amount of alcohol before bed can adversely affect sleep quality. People who do not get enough REM sleep can experience emotional problems. (original.newsbreak.com)

Why is that no surprise to me? The american dream these days to me feels like „I hope I can make it before I become seriously sick or injured.“

I suppose you have no way of getting insurance or some program to help you? Because self medicating with alcohol is pretty brutal for your health over time.

I have insurance but every time I go to a doctor they always still manage to make it cost 100+$ and thanks to their incomprehensible medical billing codes I don't even have a way to budget for it if they decide to do some test that costs a lot and insurance comes back saying it's not covered after the fact.

I'm mitigating the alcohol thing by only using it in majorly stressful times. Normally I don't drink as much.

Thats quite horrifying. Sorry you have to go through that.
