IPA and Sleep

[Ringo311]

Pretty much every time I drink 2 or more IPA's in the evening, the next morning around 5 or 6 AM I wake up wide awake. It doesnt matter how tired I am or how late I went to bed.

Does this happen to anyone else? Or has anyone ever heard of this and can explain why?

Nope can't say I have. Do you find it's with the same IPA or any? If it's with the same IPA, which one is it? Also, how late do you consume them? Maybe I drink mine too early.

Given that the average person metabolizes alcohol at a rate of around 0.01% to 0.02% per hour, a person with a BAC in the range of 0.06 — 0.08 immediately before dozing off will finish processing the sauce in his or her system after about four or five hours. Ever woken up bright and early after a rowdy bout of late-night/early-morning boozing? Now you know why: the clearance of alcohol from your body probably triggered a rebound effect, ripping you right out of the deepest period of your sleep cycle.

Happens to me too.

I don't suppose you just turned, or are nearing, 40? Do you sometimes wake up hot, too?

 

[NickTheGreat]

You could try drinking 4 of them and maybe you'll sleep until 8?

Yep, 36. Sucks.

I dont think it happens with others beers. But happens with too much whiskey sometimes.

Do you have two toddlers running around? Wake me up at 4-5AM all the time.

I agree with the idea that maybe you need to double down and try 4 and see when you wake up? You know... for science....

Wait until you turn 52, then you'll only get 5 to 6 hours sleep a night if your lucky!

I'm almost 70 & average 8-9 hours per night. With or without the IPA's.

I just turned 36 last week and haven't experienced this myself. I may have to try this... Lately I could sleep in if I could. What time do you consume these IPAs?

@TechyDork, I have a 4 & almost 7 year old. Knock on wood they usually never get up before 7am. If they do it's maybe 6:30am the earliest and I can count those times on one hand.

When I had 3 little ones running around the house at 6AM I was used to waking up at 4AM just to have a few hours of peace and quite.
