Personally, I don’t think so but I do not know. Anhelyna is correct in referring you to your priest. It does sound like you are self medicating though due to your other issues.I have an anxiety disorder, sleep apnea, and struggled with sleep for most of my life.
I often have a few drinks per nigh to help me sleep.

Is this a mortal sin?
Thank you.I have no information about any treatment that has been prescribed by your Medical Practitioner , @Reilly
Should you be taking alcohol depends on the medicines you are taking.
As to whether you are committing a mortal sin - the only person who can help you with this is your Priest and Confessor
I realise these are possibly not the answers you were seeking but I really feel you should get professional help for these problems
Lord have mercy
I agree with you.Personally, I don’t think so but I do not know. Anhelyna is correct in referring you to your priest. It does sound like you are self medicating though due to your other issues.
Thank you for the input.I am a teetotalist myself, and I abide by the Nazarite law of withdrawing from things of the vine, but I choose not to judge those who do, as their destiny is in the Lord's hands. However I agree with Anhelyna, this is more of a question you should ask to a professional.
As for mortal sin? I think it is something you should confess, but I'm unsure if it is since I am not you, and can only speak on what I know from what you said, I would take it up with your priest, though, and let him guide you into sanctity on this matter.
God bless!
Still praying for you Riley!I agree with you.
God bless
Thanks be to God!I just got back from my kidney appointment, and my labs look fantastic!
Glory to God!
I am continuing to use my CPAP.
I'm not surprised by the results. I see her again in exactly 1 year from today.Thanks be to God!

Thank you.
I hope I can give up alcohol in this INCREDIBLY ugly town (Lincoln, NE).* I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. I don't know much about medicine! So this is just my own experience!
That said, I've been having sleeping issues for the last 2 years, which have fortunately for now gone into remission, I had acute insomnia summer of 2023.
I've been reading and researching the issue, and had a complete work-up done by my doctor to make sure it was not a medical issue, and I got a clean bill of health so likely anxiety and maybe age(I'm over 65 post menopausal)
From my research I have found that alcohol suppresses melatonin production in the brain so although the sedative action will cause you to fall asleep more quickly, your sleep will be more shallow, and more broken and you will experience more awakenings and less REM sleep. I have found this to be the case in my own case, more so now that I am older. I just don't sleep well at all if I've had more than once drink before bed. So, I try not to have any alcohol at all for at least 3 hours before bed. I don't drink much anyway these days. Maybe once a month or less.
Alcohol can also exacerbate sleep apnea but if you are using a CPAP maybe not.
