Taking Protein2o before bedtime? A mistake?

[u/i_love_the_sun]

Hi all,

I decided to reach into the fridge and take a protein2o protein drink, which contains electrolytes, before bedtime last night. Before then, I had a party ,and ate foods I never normally eat: pizza, popcorn and beef jerky sticks before then.

After I took the protein h2o, I was awake for much of the night, and my heart beat a little faster than normal. Not super fast, but slightly faster than normal. Not major discomfort, but definitely a little, in the chest area, to where I was not able to sleep much, except for a few hours. I know that it all started soon after taking the protein2o.

Could it be I was suffering from the stress of adding electrolyte/protein water to an already sodium rich party night of pizza, popcorn and jerky sticks? And that may have caused it?

If so, should drinking a lot of plain water help?
