Costco Visit Part 2: Food Court ‘Healthy’ Picks, Bidets, and Why Wine Hurts Sleep

Dan and Michelle take listeners on Costco visit part two, exploring whether any food court items can be considered healthy for better sleep. They review menu options and calories, noting the 750-calorie chocolate cookie, 580-calorie cold brew mocha freeze, 840-calorie chicken bake, 850-calorie hot dog and soda, and a rotisserie chicken salad listed up to 840 calories, concluding the best options may be water or diet soda and advising people to eat before visiting. They also discuss Costco bidets (washlets), including features like heated seats and a built-in blow dryer. In the wine section, they highlight deals on red wines but explain alcohol doesn’t improve sleep: it can sedate initially then become activating after 3–4 hours, adds calories, can affect metabolism, and disrupts REM and restorative sleep.
