The Causes of Hangovers

A hangover really does have multiple causes, which explains my pretty exhaustive list and also why it's tough to find an all in one hangover cure.

Read on to help you better understand why we feel so terrible the morning after the night before.

5. Blood Sugar Level

Tried playing snooker or pool whilst hungover? Then you'll know what this means.

The brain relies even more on glucose, so don't be surprised when your memory, concentration and motor skills are affected after a night out. You may feel tired too as a result.

The reason for having a low glucose level in your blood is believed to be due to the fact that the acetaldehyde blocks it from circulating properly and so prevents it from getting to the key parts of your body and brain.

6. Sleep - or lack of it

Getting drunk disrupts your sleep pattern and prevents you from sleeping soundly and deeply for at least part of the night.

You may think you've slept 8 hours whereas in fact it may well be the equivalent to sleeping just five or six hours.

The first 3 hours were possibly not real sleep, but a kind of unconscious, alcohol-induced state.

The combination of your tiredness together with all the other factors combines to contribute to your worse than average physical condition.
