- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Ah yes "who cares about your science, this is what I feel like", as if subjective experiences have never fooled anyone?
The plural or anecdote isn't evidence.
It's not "without evidence" and I didn't attribute it to you. Don't you think I take care to take breaks from my meds to see that I don't have a) a physical dependency b) a psychological need (addiction)? It's not always possible, as sleeping is then slightly harder, but I try to test that out with at least a few week break every year, because it's healthy.
You do realise the nature of addiction is such that when you actually suffer from it, you'll make yourself believe you don't?
It reminds me of those people who adamantly demand that caffeine has zero effect on them (as they drink it frequently and still sleep and don't notice effects from it.) While everyone around them is annoyed to fuck by their constant jittering and foot tapping.
I'm not saying you have a problem. But alcohol does reduce your quality of sleep. Your "but I don't feel that way" won't discredit all the science which shows it does. Sorry. I'm not telling what to do or judging you in any way ffs.
