The morning after a night of drinking is never enjoyable with a hangover. The most common symptoms of a hangover include headaches, exhaustion, thirst, and nausea. However, some individuals also report experiencing "hangxiety"—feelings of uneasiness during a hangover. Anxiety with a hangover affects approximately 12% of people, and the severity varies.
A hangover induces a state of physiological stress when the body recovers from a night of drinking. In general, physiological stress occurs when the body is under pressure—for example, as a result of a sickness or accident. A hangover functions in a similar manner. Not only does it change our immune system, but it also raises cortisol levels, which are often called the "stress hormone." Anxiety also changes blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels.
The brain also undergoes alterations. According to research, dopamine-related brain activity (a type of neurotransmitter) is reduced during a hangover. This is significant because dopamine plays a crucial role in anxiety regulation.
Intriguingly, the combination of stress and sleep deprivation (representing features of a hangover) can result in reductions in both mood and cognitive function (including attention and memory). Additionally, fatigue, worry, and the presence of other unpleasant hangover symptoms might make it difficult to do daily duties. For instance, a person with a hangover may be too focused on treating their nausea, headache, and weariness to properly manage worrisome thoughts.
According to our own research, people feel a negative emotional shift during a hangover. Many also reported having greater difficulty controlling their emotions than when they are not hungover. In other words, during a hangover, individuals feel terrible and find it difficult to recover.
However, when asked to regulate their emotions during a computer activity, participants were able to do so to the same level as when they were not hungover, albeit with greater effort. Some people may have anxiety because they have a harder time controlling their feelings when they have a hangover.
