“…The day following the experimental night, participants reported mild hangover effects that were primarily characterized by thirst. During the day, Roehrs et with low dosages of alcohol were found in several other studies [2,3]. Only few studies used higher alcohol dosages to provoke a next-day alcohol hangover, and also assessed sleep and sleepiness the next day.…”

Purpose Heavy drinking has been shown to disrupt sleep, increase sleepiness the next day, and produce symptoms collectively referred to as ''hangover''. A survey was conducted to determine the impact of heavy alcohol consumption on sleep, daytime sleepiness, and hangover severity. Methods N = 335 adults, experienced with alcohol hangover, completed a survey of sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, and hangover symptoms comparing a heavy drinking occasion with a non-alcohol occasion. Data from those who reported [5-h sleep on the alcohol occasion were compared to those reporting \5-h sleep. Results Participants consumed on average 22.4 (SD 16.8) alcoholic drinks per week. On their last heavy drinking session that produced a hangover, the number of alcoholic drinks they consumed equaled 14.3 (SD 8.2). Relative to a normal night of sleep, sleep quality was significantly worse after the last drinking session (p \ 0.006), and the following day daytime sleepiness was significantly increased (p \ 0.0001). When controlling for alcohol quantity, daytime sleepiness significantly correlated to overall hangover severity, whereas sleep quality and duration did not.Conclusion Heavy alcohol consumption significantly reduces sleep quality, and significantly increases daytime sleepiness the following day.

“…The timing and type of food eaten by shift workers are determined more by the opportunity afforded by the work schedule than by hunger [7,57]. The common problem among the night workers especially those who have worked at night for longer times, was indigestion and an increased frequency of gastrointestinal disorders and ulcers [58].…”

“…Apart from these factors, diet and lifestyle factors of the populations and other characteristics of the workplace where they work and live, such as work design, organization, management, and their societal contexts appear to be important in the pathogenesis of NCDs [1][2][3][4][5]. In this connection, shift work altering the circadian rhythm of sleep, appears to be an important occupational factor that has potential health implications [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Shift work indicating disturbance in sleep rhythm, can be classified in one of two ways.…”

Abstract:Background: Clinical evidence indicates that insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality appear to be common consequences of shift work. These rhythms appear to have independent influence on the function of the endocrine system, circadian brain function and gastrointestinal tract. Insufficient sleep and its poor quality due to shift work interfere with beta cells, leptin and ghrelin functioning, resulting in factors for the development and exacerbation of insulin resistance. Human studies found that insufficient sleep alters the levels of leptin and ghrelin, two hormones involved in the regulation of appetite and body fat. Leptin, released by fat cells, signals the brain to feel satiety. Ghrelin, produced in the stomach, signals hunger. Investigations reported that temporarily sleep-deprived individuals experienced hormonal changes along with greater cravings for sweet and fatty foods. A further reason for their cravings is related to the stress hormone cortisol, which can rise with sleep deprivation and contribute to hunger. In addition to altered hormone levels, people who stay awake longer have more opportunity to eat, and late-night eating often includes high-caloric foods. Weight gain is only one of the many side effects of insufficient sleep, but it can lead to long-term health problems, including diabetes. Although more sleep will not automatically result in weight loss, sufficient sleep and a regular sleep schedule are critical in controlling appetite and promoting a healthy eating pattern. Research on sleep and appetite reveals a consistent link between a lower amount of sleep and a higher body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight-to-height that indicates overweight. Studies showed those who slept less than eight hours a night were more likely to be overweight. Methods: Internet search and discussion with colleagues.Results: Recent research indicates that disruption of sleep can influence food intake and food and nutrients can influence sleep. There is evidence that high protein and carbohydrates meals can influence moods, attention and concentration among normal adult subjects with respect to age, gender and meal time. Women reported greater sleepiness after two hours of carbohydrate meal as opposed to a protein meal. On the other hand men reported greater calmness after a carbohydrate as opposed to a protein meal. Age of subjects may also influence the response to meals. After a carbohydrate or protein rich breakfast, persons older than 40 years felt more tense and less calm with a protein-rich than carbohydraterich meal. In general older subjects preferred carbohydrate than protein meals. Carbohydrate meals are also reported to impair objective performance; carbohydrate rich foods either in breakfast or lunch have exhibited negative influence on neural response such as impaired objective performance and poor sustained attention. A meal consumed close to bedtime is associated with sleep disturbances. Further, solid foods as well as large meals may cause more sleepiness than liquid foods. Studies...
