Why do I have trouble sleeping after drinking?

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!

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

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.
