Many of us (unfortunately) have experienced and fought to cure a hell of a hangover before (lots of water, rest and maybe a bit of hair of the dog!). After a long night of drinking, we wake up feeling sluggish, dizzy and nauseated and have a sensitivity to light or sound. But it’s not just alcohol that can make you feel absolutely awful the next day — expending a lot of emotional energy can have the same effect. And that can explain why after a huge fight or an exhausting evening of crying or talking through feelings, you want nothing more than to lay face down and groan for a few more hours. So what is an emotional hangover?

It doesn’t matter what time of year it is, your body needs to stay hydrated to keep all your organs functioning, your body temperature regulated and to keep your mind running at peak performance. Dehydration is no joke — and can be a surefire way to disrupt your day-to-day life and leave you feeling awful.

Imagine you’re a young mother, dealing with the relentless physical demands of a baby. You know, the ones like making sure they don’t stick something in their eye, or picking them up and putting them down for non- stop mealtimes and diaper changes. These are demands that can sap any able-bodied person’s energy and mental sanity.
