- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

I’ve spent a couple years now working on being consistent with bedtimes and paying attention to how long I sleep on vacation, so I tend to wake up naturally. It is helped by having my blinds automated to open at the same time so sun shines in too.
If it’s a day I’ve had a drink the night before, it extends my time in bed, maybe 10-30 min, and more if it’s more than a few drinks.
The consistent bed time really helps me sleep and wake better.
I'm not sure I've ever experienced sleeping longer because of alcohol though. That's interesting.
One or two drinks and I’m just lethargic and don’t want to get up.
If I went to bed drunk, I sleep fitfully and wake up, know I can’t really get rest, and get up, start the day, and have a nap later if I can. I avoid that.
