Alcohol-Free 30 Days
Thirty consecutive days with no alcohol, with sleep duration, sleep quality, resting heart rate and morning energy logged for a baseline week first — the value is the comparison, not the abstinence.

Thirty days without alcohol isn't about the abstinence.

The protocol
- Baseline: log sleep duration, sleep quality (1–5), resting heart rate and morning energy for 7 days first.
- Duration: 30 days.
- During: the same four metrics, daily.
- Social plan: decide the replacement drink and the one-sentence answer before the first event, not at the bar.
- Review: compare week 4 against the baseline week — and note anything that did not change, too.
- After: if you resume, resume deliberately — the comparison is the whole point.
What you get
- A clean read on alcohol's effect on your own sleep and resting heart rate.
- Removes a large source of empty calories.
- Breaks an automatic evening habit long enough to see it.
- No cost.
Contraindications
- Do NOT stop abruptly if you drink heavily or daily — withdrawal can be medically dangerous and requires clinical supervision.
- If stopping feels impossible, that is itself a reason to speak to a clinician rather than to try harder alone.
- This is a self-experiment, not a treatment for alcohol use disorder.
Evidence level
Medium. Thirty days is long enough for a personal before-and-after on four metrics you can measure yourself, and holding the log across a baseline week is what turns it from a resolution into a readable experiment. Medium reflects the design, not a promised outcome — the honest result includes the metrics that stay flat. The first contraindication is the one that outranks everything else here: abrupt cessation in heavy or daily drinking is a medical situation, not a challenge.
