What is the best way to get out of the habit of drinking every night before bed if it helps you to sleep? Is distraction a method that will actually work that late at night?

Sometimes having an alternative habit such as listening to the radio or reading can help as it re-focuses your mind. It is also worth not having any alcohol in the house if possible while you try these techniques and develop a new sleeping routine.

Although it's great if you decided to stop drinking at once, it would be better to do it gradually. Decrease you intake every night as you feel comfortable, while taking note of your daily lifestyle. People tend to overlook their activities in daytime because how can it affect your nighttime habits, right? Do you do strenuous or laborious work? Or do you usually stay at home and expend little body work? Using your energy in physical activities on daylight will surely help you sleep easily at night time, along with the decreased alcohol intake as you go. Good luck!

Try and replace drinking with a more healthy choice like going for a run or reading a few page sof a book

asmr videos help a lot( find them on youtube) even if you can't feel "tingles". they work great for relaxation

For me it was to replace the beer or wine with a cup of tea an a few biscuits, or a hot chocolate...

The best way to get out of the habit of drinking every night before bed if it helps you to sleep is to try a different drink other than alcohol like a tea that helps you sleep you can try to change your routine and try different things before going to bed like exercise writing listening to sleep music the goal is to change the habit to a more healthy productive goal so that you don't drink. As well I don't know if you ever heard of counting your blessings but this actually works if you just start thinking God for each thing that he has bless you with in your life before long you'll be sleep because the list goes on and on.
