I drank 5 Coronas last night, why can't I sleep?!
Question: I didn't go to bed until 2:30 in the morning, and then I was up again at 6. I usually don't wake up until around 8 or 8:30.
This always happens to me when I drink the night before. I can only sleep a few hours and feel irritable and like I want to sleep, but I can't.

The first effect of alcohol is to reduce anxiety. It loosens you up, and of course this is why we like to drink it at parties. Later, alcohol has a sedative effect, making you feel sleepy. The less well-known effect of alcohol is its stimulant effect. It makes the brain more active and interferes with normal sleep patterns. The type of sleep known as REM (rapid eye-movement) sleep occurs several times during the night, and alcohol makes it more likely that you will wake up during REM sleep, and that you will find it more difficult to get back to sleep. Unfortunately, this effect lasts for many hours
