If I have a few drinks in the evening I will only sleep 2-3 hours then have insomnia for the rest of the night and usually cannot get back to sleep?
I do not even have to drink heavy, 3 drinks will do it to me even though I am not drunk. Just started happening to me in the past year (I am 30).
The same thing happens to me sometimes. My doctor said that is normal for some people. It's the same as Benadryl making some people very sleepy and making others very hyper. It just depends on the person. I used to get sleepy on diet pills...everybody is different.
It may depend on what you're drinking too.
You may be having a sensitivity to the ingredients in your drinks.
Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine all disturb sleeping patterns. The processes that go on during sleep are sensitive not just to alcohol in the bloodstream but alcohol having been in the bloodstream. That's the crazy bit. The alcohol may have metabolised out of your body hours before you went to sleep but residual effects remain. The transitions between the various sleep phases that the body undergoes every night are really sensitive and easily upset.
when i have a shot, i get terribly drowsy, and i go to sleep, and after what seems like an eternity of sleep, i wake up to find only 1 hour or max. 2 hours have passed, and i reamin active the whole remainder of the night...
it's strange....
Wow, that happens to me too. It can be like 8 and I fall asleep and wake up at about 1 or 2 and feel like I slept all night, but this never used to happen to me either. Freaks me out too, I'm not much help on the "why" part though...
