More Causes of a Hangover
A hangover really does have multiple causes, which explains our pretty exhaustive list. Read on to help you better understand why we feel so terrible the morning after the night before.
5. Blood Sugar Level
Your body relies on glucose for its energy. Your brain needs glucose too. Low levels of glucose in your body may result in you feeling weak and slightly lacking in coordination. 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
You need sleep, both your body and brain need sleep. 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.
Conclusion
It's pretty clear that the reasons behind feeling hungover are not simple, and so the cure for is not simple either. The main culprit is the toxin acetaldehyde. Combined with the famous dehyration, the lack of vitamins & minerals, congeners, low glucose levels and tiredness, it shouldn't be surprising some of us feel terrible the next day.Knowing why it happens is one thing, now we advise you to ead about cures and remedies for
