So, Why Do I Wake Up Early After Drinking?

There are a few reasons you could’t sleep in as late as you’d like.

For one, your sleep cycle gets messed up.

What’s glutamine, you ask?

“When you drink, your body stops producing glutamine but doesn’t stop using it.

This glutamine rush has a stimulatory effect and can wake you up.

Then, there’s your bladder.

“Your bladder is trying to remove your toxins from the system,” he says.

This can frequently disrupt sleep, particularly in the early morning hours,” explainsDr.

Are All Alcohols Equal?

Some congeners include methanol, acetone, and tannins.

Stick with lighter, clearer liquors if you’re having trouble (or particularly wicked hangovers) come morning.

Keep in mind it’s important to hydrate before, during, and after drinking alcohol, he says.

Aim for a glass of water for every alcoholic beverage.
