It might be due to a reduction in anxiety. When you're hungover you feel too "beat up" to worry, procrastinate and second guess yourself.
I've found I get the same benefit from distance running. I can have anxiety-provoking conversations more easily if I've run 10 miles because I'm too tired to get upset.
In fact, as someone with anxiety and ADHD I've finally realized in my thirties that I basically need to exercise (almost) every day to get more usable hours out of my day.
