I have this weird age-related development where, if I go to bed late, I wake up feeling like I’m severely hungover. I can sleep for 6, 8 or 10 hours, it doesn’t matter. It’s not about sleep duration but solely bedtime. I wake up feeling like a bloody wreck. It’s exactly like a bad hangover. Exactly.
But I figured a way to avoid this. And it’s the same as how you avoid a bad hangover. If I stay insanely hydrated all evening and all through the night, I don’t experience this state.
I wish I knew enough about chemistry or biology or whatever to understand how this works. Why do I experience going to bed late like being drunk? This is particularly obnoxious because I was a late-night person my whole life until this started happening. My entire identity is being taken away from me.
