You have trouble sleeping after drinking because the alcohol causes you to be more alert, in a way, and not tired.

Alcohol can make You either euphoric or sleepy, some get excited others become hyper , it is the chemicals in the brain releasing some hormones on your blood stream causing you to feel either sleepy or hyper.

It's normal for you to have trouble sleeping after drinking. Why? Because your body cannot get a full night's sleep with alcohol in its system. Your brain never enters deep sleep mode when you're drunk, that's why it feels like when you wake up that you just closed your eyes and you haven't slept a bit.

Alcohol is known to have a lot of sugar in it, which can cause us difficulty sleeping, especially if you are drinking coolers, and other sweeter drinks.

Sometimes when I have consumed alcohol, especially in combination with energy drinks / coca cola, I think it is the caffeine in the mix drinks that make one have troubles sleeping.

In general, alcohol relaxes our muscles, and that is the case with our throat muscle. When we are sleeping, normally our throat muscle relaxes and alcohol can increase this relaxation causing you to fall asleep before your natural sleep cycle begins. But when your body completely metabolized alcohol, your sleep becomes fragmented and you wake up more often in the middle of the sleep. This could also lead to insomnia, I would suggest getting advice from a doctor if an severe symptoms arise. Also, it is generally not a good idea to mix sleep with alcohol.

Drinking can sometimes affect the way that your mind works. For some people it aids sleep and for some it can affect the way you think and therefore cause it to be worse
