why does the body always wake up so early after a night of drinking?
In: Biology
Your bodies sugar levels are too low.
Alcohol has good n bad sugar molecules and in order to process the bad sugar the body attaches a good molecule from your reserves. This decreases your over all sugar level in the body.
When your bodies blood sugar level drops bellow a certain point it triggers the eat reflex – pretty primal this one – which trumps (as in Top Trumps the card game) the sleep and triggers wake.
Ahhhh… the 8 hours sleep after a curry n chips, kebab, on the way home or a bowl of ramen when home from a night out in my teens compared with now…….. sedentary dinner parties 20 odd years later….. square of dark chocolate if I remember I’m fine otherwise 4 hours max!
