Like if I start drinking at around 10pm, and become tired and sleepy at around 2am, does that I mean I'm passing out or simply naturally falling asleep?

Replies Sins and Demons Posted at 4:49 pm on Dec. 14, 2007 not all that sure but i do know passing out will give you less regenerative sleep compared to naturally going to bed. ImSoHappy Posted at 12:29 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 Passing out is involuntary, it's usually caused by a drop in blood pressure, lack of oxygen/blood to the brain and low blood sugar, this may only last for a few minutes. Sleeping is usually voluntary and it's when your body and mind is exhausted and needs rest to "re energize" (unlike going unconscious). A person can be woken quite easily and sleep lasts alot longer than a few minutes, your body normally wakes up naturally after 8-12 hours sleep. tears99 Posted at 12:26 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 Quote: from mary123 at 12:25 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 u dont just get sleepy after u drink.. u drink get drunk and then just fall asleeeep u pass out haha idk how to explain... its kinda diff than just falling asleep If you get drunk it DOES NOT MEAN you will pass out CmplctedCheerGrl Posted at 12:26 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 Passing out is like falling asleep unintentionally.  Like, when you drink WAAY too much and your body can't take it anymore. Falling asleep quickly is because your body has no more energy. tears99 Posted at 12:26 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 You can pass out from so many different reasons mary123 Posted at 12:25 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 u dont just get sleepy after u drink.. u drink get drunk and then just fall asleeeep u pass out haha idk how to explain... its kinda diff than just falling asleep tears99 Posted at 12:25 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 You just feel asleep that is what is sounds like, you don't remember passing out. soxobrunette2 Posted at 12:25 pm on Dec. 1, 2007 uhmm i always thought passing out was after from some drug but w.e.
