Sometimes, we try to count sheep or listen to a guided meditation. Other nights, we scroll through our phones or turn on Netflix.
Most of the time, however, we turn to something more efficient and potent, like a glass of red wine or a shot of whiskey.
And while a stiff drink can help knock us out quickly, it usually has us tossing and turning later in the night — meaning we wake up feeling like we hardly slept at all.
