I have trouble after drinking because I start to think about all the choices I regret in my life or the people I have lost and it gets my mind racing so much that is becomes very hard to sleep.

Having any fluid in your body can disrupt sleep. Between soda, alcohol etc. People have acid troubles and it can irritate them and make people sick when they lie down. As if it doesn't rest properly in your stomach. Drinking something more heavy like milk would be a lot healthier for when you go to bed. :)

After drinking, your body is trying to oxidize the fluid! your body can only do so much so fast, and as youre going through this process, its harder to sleep.

this is because when you drink something e.g a cold glass of water; your brain becomes more alert and therefore causing you to stay awake. this is the same with energy drinks.

well its because too much consumption of alcohol never help you to manage your sleep. it effects your sleep and stomach.

Drinking impairs the senses. Your brain isn't making the appropriate nerve signals to help you function, even if that function is sleeping.

if the drink in question is alcoholic, then it may be leading to a phenomenon called REM rebound once it gets metabolized. immediately after drinking, your sleep-onset latency is decreased, so you can fall asleep faster, but you won’t get enough REM sleep (the deep, restorative kind) in your early sleep cycles, leading to more of it later (the rebound), which causes disturbances with vivid and unsettling dreams, activity, and increased heart rate in the second half of the night. if the drink is non-alcoholic, you may just need to empty your bladder or drink less fluid before bed.

Hi there, Thanks for the question. Alcohol is a stimulant, depressant and a hallucinogenic. When you consume alcohol, the breakdown product of alcohol, acetaldehyde, mixes with the bile from the liver and creates another compound, a hallucinogenic, which is the reason you feel good and the reason most people drink. This compound interferes with the other brain chemistry and causes insomnia. Many people who drink on a regular basis will experience insomnia and other kinds of distress if they consume alcohol on a regular basis. If you are a heavy drinker or you cannot stop without any kind of withdrawal symptoms, I want to invite you to talk to your doctor about pharmacological support. There are a few anti-craving medications that have found significant efficacy in supporting people to quit drinking. One of the benefits of one of these drugs, Naltrexone, is to help people find regular sleep patterns. Good luck

This can happen from numerous reasons that may be affecting your life such as already being in a anxious state as your heart palpitations will have increased rapidly from the alcohol consumption. If it's not because of a psychological cause, it could be simply be because alcohol is a diuretic which makes the body lose extra fluid through sweat thus causing you to be dehydrated. This could make you go to the bathroom often or even snore. There's honestly so many reasons why it could be happening but since we're not professionals, just to be certain it would be best to check with a doctor! :) Take care!

Perhaps, you may have low tolerance for alcohol, which I have observed in some of my friends before. However, to positively be sure, you may want to speak with a medical professional, who has the qualifications to help you determine why this issue keeps happening.

It depends on what you're drinking. If you had something with caffeine (eg. coke, coffee, or anything with sugar) then you will be kept awake because the caffeine works quickly. If you want to drink something right before bed, water and plain milk are relaxing to have and don't contain much sugar or any caffeine.

Hello! This might be because of how your body works on a biological level. While alcohol is generally a depressant (slows down functions), interference from your biology or from external things (like medication) may be to blame. According to an article on 'Psychology Today,' alcohol acts like a stimulant before it makes you sleepy. How long these effects last before you get tired are largely variable depending on your biology. Hope that helps!

Drinking before bed can affect REM sleep. Even after drinking because you may feel like you can get better sleep, in the long term, you won't get a better night's sleep. Drinking can also make you dehydrated and you may toss and turn because your body is not balanced.
