This may mean anything from catching a few hours of extra sleep to simply laying your head back in a recliner or on your bed for a while with your eyes closed. Any extra rest that you can grab will do you wonders when nursing a hangover.
Understand changes in your body
As you move up and down feeling restless because of hangover, understand what is happening to your body. Although it has many compelling reasons for us to drink it, alcohol is a toxin (poison). You may feel nauseous and sick to your stomach, tired, sore, and thirsty/dehydrated.
