Drunk Sleep

How well do you sleep after a feed of pints? I completely crash out but I still feel wrecked the day after

Is drunk sleep better than normal sleep :pac: ??

bobcar61

For me sleep is sleep, I conk out straight away no matter whether I'm drunk or not.
Give me a sleeping tablet and that's a different story

lately ive been having trouble sleeping after a feed of drink, dont know what it is. maybe the black bush has something to do with it. i was on the piss big time on sunday but woke up at half 6 on monday morning (after leaving the pub at half 2) tired but not hungover

its very variable. I love drunk sleeps, its much easier to fall asleep (I'm a bit of an insomiac) but my boyfriend would disagree. Depending on how much he's had to drink he'll probably try to sleep and the room will start spinning and he'll want to puke....

I fall asleep much quicker when Im drunk. But the quality of the sleep is crap.

Absolutely hate drunk sleep.Anything wakes me up and then I cant get back asleep.:(
No more drunky sleepy for me.No sireee

AlmightyCushion

Ah drunk sleep. When I'm drunk sleep I'm usually impossible to wake and I can sleep pretty much anywhere. I've slept in a taxi, during a college lecture, leaning against a bannister in a friends house, leaning against a wall in a nightclub, in a small box in a friends house (no idea how that happened), on a set of stairs and god knows how many other places.

Maddison

It depend on how much Ive drank If Ive gone mental like I did on Sunday night I have to induce vomiting to stop the room from spinning....If Ive just had a nice few I sleep like a log

2 weekends ago I fell asleep on the ground in front of the passenger seat of a car,while someone slept in the seat with their feet on me, never again though, was very sore the next day.
And I'm not a midget either, I'm 6ft 2" so it was a tight squeeze.

Try a red bull/vodka sleep. Oh my god! You'll literally crumple into your bed at 4am and any crack of light (6am-ish) or slight noise will have you wide awake willing your brain to switch itself off while your body feels like 10 elephants are sitting on it. Cue eventually surfacing at midday still wrecked but hyper as feck still feelin half cut and everything feels like its on a 10 second delay for the whole day.

The real hangover kicks in on Monday though in work. God i love vodka red bull sat nights..its almost worth it

You dont go through the normal sleep stages while drinking. I find i have to completely sober up before i go to bed and sleep a lot better for it.

what the hell were you doing on the ground in the front anyway haha

bobcar61

Getting a lift home after a night out, the car was so crowded that where I had to go.There was 9 of us in a Fiat Punto including the driver. Not so fun times.

rossie1977

a few drinks and i am out like a light as soon as my head hits the pillow

Usually my night ends like this.

Finish Drinking
Food
Home
Bed
Get out of Bed with spinners to Puke
Back in Bed
Back out to puke
Back in
Conk out
Wake up REALLY Early and not be able to get back to sleep even though I am extremely tired and still quite drunk.

razorblunt

Normally wake up at 9.45 on the button irregardless of when i went to sleep and absolutely dying of the heat and thirst. Down to the fridge drink whatever looks the coldest, back to bed and up again at 11.30 on the button. Never deviating from those time.

One day soon I'll bring a bottle of water with me!

I woke on the pitch of a coucil estate football pitch, with about 15 scumbags looking in the fence at us!

currythis

Best sleep ever!
Was locked on friday night at a 21st,only bit I remember was falling over a traffic median thingy on my way home home it was gettin bright so i reckon 4/5am ish.

Woke up at 3.45 in the afternoon!on the downside I must have attempted to have food when I got in cos there was a trail of fried rice leading from my room to my kitchen which was a bitch to clean with a hangover!

SeekUp

As long as:

a) my head isn't spinning
2) my stomach isn't swirling

I sleep just fine.

So, you fell asleep in a the middle of a council estate football pitch, but the lads who were looking at ye are the scumbags?? They probably just wanted to play some soccer.

Not that you are a scumbag or anything:D, Well you might be, but if you are that person from a different forum I frequent then you probably aren't. Probably.:D

Erica-smiley

I fall asleep madly easy when i'm drunk (in backs of taxis, in clubs....:D) but weirdly always wake up really really early the next morning when all I wanna do is sleep!!!

I'm the exact same. But I almost always puke after lying down.

koHd

Sleep a lot easier myself after a few drinks.

WeeBushy

I love my sleep after a drinking, so much so that I often dont make it to my bed. The amount of times my dad has had to wake me on the couch in the morning is embarrassing...

I feel asleep in a taxi once, wouldnt do it again, the missus went mad cause i wouldnt wake up!

petethebrick

I fell asleep in an apartment block under construction in some town in Co Wicklow. The thing is I had been out drinking in dublin city centre and I live in Phibsborough so shouldn't have been in Co Wicklow
I'd even made a little bed out of styrofoam insulating panels for myself. No memory of going to or entering the building site at all. I woke up at 2 the next afternoon and luckily it was a sunday so there were no builders about. Wandered out of the site and nearly died when I saw a road sign stating 'Dublin 32km'. I'd no money, wallet or phone (all lost) so had to get a taxi to my gaff in Dublin and borrow money off flatmate to pay for it.....

Edgedinblue

i dont really sleep much when im drunk regardless of how tired i am, i could go to bed at 5 and wake up at half 8 and not be able to get back to sleep! usually feel ****e forthe day tho!

3hn2givr7mx1sc

I can't sleep for ages when I'm drunk, nor can I get comfortable:(

The Big Red Button

I go into a really deep sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, but wake up at 6.30 craving carbs and water and can't go back to sleep after that So I'm always wrecked the next day

Super-Rush

You don't actually sleep when you're pished

IvyTheTerrible

Doesn't matter if I have drink on me or not, I find it ridiculously easy to fall asleep once I'm in bed. It's more the late night that wrecks me, because I will wake up at 7 (go to work time) no matter what hour I got in at!

nice1franko

drunk sleep < no sleep
drunk sleep > staying up and getting even more pssed*

* assuming physical and/or mental performance the following day is crucial, otherwise, obviously, drunk sleep < staying up and getting even more pssed

Piste

I fall asleep really easily when I'm drunk but I'll usually only get a few hours sleep and spend the rest of the following day hungover and vomiting, I usually only feel better about about 7/8 that night

Loopy

A friend of mine, when drunk, will sleep anywhere, and you cannot for love nor money wake her..
Once, she was out on the rip and hopped into a cab home. Fell asleep - taxi driver couldnt wake her so had to leave her in the front seat and drove all night taking fares with her in the car. She woke at 8am and was like WTF:eek:

Loopy

You don't get proper 'REM Sleep' when you hit the sack after a feed of gargle.

REM Sleep is the sleep state in which you dream.

Dreaming arguably is the pressure-release valve of the brain and it clears the in/out tray of immediate conscious concerns and issues.

Most chronic alchos end up paranoid and/or schizophrenic because they are suppressing their brains from the process of dreaming whilst asleep.

It took me agesssssssss to get to sleep last night

They're actually not entirely sure what the story is. It's not REM sleep alone, but an overall disruption of the sleeping pattern. REm sleep isn't very restful and you'll notice that if you can recall dreaming a lot in one particular night, you'll be quite tired in the morning. While you're unconscious and generally not moving when "drunk sleeping", your body doesn't properly enter a deep sleep.
So your body will be largely rested in the morning (because you haven't moved all night), but your brain won't have released a wide variety of chemicals like it would normally have done. This is partly what can cause the generally ill-feeling mood the next day. It also hasn't changed "modes" overnight, which is one reason why you crave carbs and sugars in the morning - your brain has been burning a lot of energy even though you were unconscious.

Drunk sleep is get, only time I actually get to sleep without twisting and turning in bed for an hour. And the greatness about drunk sleep is you'll sleep anywhere, from a kitchen table to a footpath.:D
