Do you drink alcohol regularly? Its counter intuitive but alcohol simultaneously prevents people from entering deep sleep and can cause them to wake up early.

As I've gotten older I've realized this.

Generally I'm fine with 1-2 beers, but 3-4+ and I always wake up at ~5am with a foggy head. And usually an ache in my arms.

Nope. At most, I'll have 2-3 drinks on Saturday night.
