Japanese scientists conducted an interesting study that turns over ideas about how the body copes with alcohol during sleep. According to their conclusions, sleep after drinking alcohol significantly slows down the process of decomposition of alcohol in the blood, and therefore extends the time of sobriety. This fact can become important for those who are used to thinking that sleep is the best way to quickly come to their senses after a feast.
why the body "
The main reason for the slow removal of alcohol from the body during sleep, scientists call a decrease in the activity of metabolic processes. During wakefulness, the body is more actively working on the excretion of toxins, including alcohol decay products. However, during sleep, the metabolism slows down, and with it the process of processing ethanol in the liver slows down.
The myth of "
Among the common myths about the fight against the consequences of alcohol consumption, the belief is distinguished that sleeping is the best way to sober up. The study shows that this is not so. People who, after drinking alcohol, go to bed, spend twice as much time processing alcohol in the body compared to those who remain to be awake.
How sleep affects sobriety.
Sleep, of course, helps to restore strength, but its influence on the excretion of alcohol is rather a negative. The body not only slows down metabolism, but also puts off work on alcohol processing for a later date. This can explain why many people still have residual signs of intoxication after sleep, even if several hours have passed.
What to do to accelerate sober.
If the goal is to speed up the sobriety process, it is worth choosing other methods, and not go to bed immediately. For example, moderate physical activity, use of a large amount of water and proper nutrition can help the body quickly cope with alcohol processing.
However, it is important to remember that there is no magical way of instant soberness - the body takes time to remove all toxins.
conclusions of scientists and their significance.
The study of Japanese scientists emphasizes the importance of the correct approach to restoration after drinking alcohol. Sleep, despite its benefit to restore strength, slows down the process of sobering. Therefore, if you need to come to your senses faster, it is better to pay attention to other methods of supporting the body.
