Working through insomnia often means examining everyday choices.

For many, this includes decisions about caffeine and alcohol—two everyday pleasures that may feel off-limits when you’re struggling with sleep.

Conventional wisdom often suggests cutting these out entirely, which can make life feel even more restricted and less enjoyable.

While total abstinence can sometimes help, it’s not always necessary.

Moderation and mindful consumption might allow you to preserve some normalcy and joy in your daily routines while you work to overcome insomnia.
