Why is it so hard to sleep when you're dehydrated? How can I get back to normal after last night?

Question

Last night was my birthday and I visited 2 of my favorite bars. Each one is kind of like the one on "Cheers" where everyone knows your name. Everyone kept buying me shots, but I knew when to stop.

Well obviously I didn't stop soon enough. I can't sleep and I keep drinking water but it's not helping-4 glasses actually.

Any other quick fixes? I have to work in a few hours.

Answer 1

Drink Gatorade and lots of it...........it rehydrates you faster than water will .

Answer 2

A good bowl movement or two can help "push", no pun intended, the bad stuff out. With each bowl movement always drink a glass of water.

Answer 3

i hate bloody mary's but they do work. try one of those. otherwise make sure u eat, eat a lot to soak up the alcohol and that will take some of the dehydration away later. Drink a lot, sometimes water doesnt work so try juices. take some aspirin and a shower to wake u up.

Answer 4

Cranberry and tonic water (mixed or on their own) you will feel more refreshed and less thirsty. If your stomach can handle it try having some breakfast - a bagel, toast and peanut butter - that should help your body readjust. Good Luck!

Answer 5

2 aspirin and a cup of coffee or mountain dew and contuine to drink ur water. red bull cool too.u just need energy.hell take the day off.

Answer 6

Answer 7
