night cap results in headache?

Question

I have taken to making myself a little malibu cocktail before i go to bed at night, it really puts me out solid for 6 hours. but then i wake up and have to go to the bathroom like hell, and only get 6 hours of sleep because i cant wait any longer to go to the bathroom. i´ve done this for 3 days now, and i´ve got a huge headache, its not a hangover i dont imagine because i only had 2 drinks total yesterday, but any suggestions on how to get solid sleep and avoid headaches?

malibu is colorless

Answer 1

You had a drink that makes you sleep for 6 hours, and gives you a huge headache?

IT'S A HANGOVER! Trust me on this.

Answer 2

You could be sensitive to the ingredient in the cocktail which is triggering a migraine (hence why it doesn't feel like a hangover). Migraines can also cause frequent urination in some individuals so I think this is your problem.

Switch to another alcohol for your nightcap. Generally alcohol that is colorless doesn't tend to trigger migraines like other alcohols.

Good luck, dear.

Answer 3

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

ok. here's what you do. make sure you are hydrated. drink some water. not a whole lot..just a glass..mixed drinks do tend to cause headaches more often than just shots. i don't know why. alcohol is always going to make you have to urinate. just try going to the bathroom before going to bed is all i can say. maybe you should try a different drink. coffee avoids headache in the morning. it works for me anyways. try a cappacino if you hate coffee..
