1 week

According to experts, during the first "alcohol-free" week, you will notice that your sleep begins to settle down.

However, it keeps you from sleeping deeply and also makes you wake up frequently during the night from dehydration and the need to go to the bathroom. Giving up alcoholic beverages will greatly improve the quality of your sleep.
