Do you have a drink of water through the night?

I find I don't drink much in the day but always drink a pint of water if not two through the night!

Anyone else?

No. I’d be up all night on the loo. 😂

EnglishGirlApproximately · 17/08/2018 21:54

Oh god, yes and then I spend half the night up and down to the loo! I drink a lot of water through the day then a glass before bed, invariably topped up. I’d like to cut it out but I can’t sleep without it, I don’t feel right!

Branleuse · 17/08/2018 21:54

I always have water and a snack by the bed

HaudYerWheeshtBawbag · 17/08/2018 21:55

Yes, however I also drink alot during the day, if i don''t drink during the night I get a vile headache, and my blood pressure is low (have low blood pressure)

MargaretDribble · 17/08/2018 21:56

Nowhere near a pint, but I have a mug of water (I have form for knocking over glasses) because I wake up with a dry mouth during the night.

aperolspritzplease · 17/08/2018 21:56

Always take water to bed, rarely drink it.

Jupiter9 · 17/08/2018 21:56

What an exciting bedtime you all have 😂

ZigZagIntoTheBlue · 17/08/2018 21:57

I keep water in a bottle by my bed just in case but rarely actually wake up to drink it. On a side note, can't bear a glass of water at night as it goes stale and tastes weird!

DramaAlpaca · 17/08/2018 22:00

I drink loads of water. I drink a pint before bed, then take another pint up with me. I drink half when I wake up in the night for a wee, and the rest as soon as I wake up. God that sounds weird Grin

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2018 22:00

No. I am lucky enough to sleep all night and not wake up for anything. I wouldn't want a drink of room temperature water at any time.

missyB1 · 17/08/2018 22:00

I drink at least two pints of water through the night, and yes I’m up to pee several times. I’ve been like this for a few years now, dh just laughs about it. It’s got worse since I’ve been in menopause though, have a constant dry mouth.

chipsandpeas · 17/08/2018 22:01

i usually have a glass of water on the bedside table but its not every night i have a drink

DickensianHysteric · 17/08/2018 22:04

I keep a bottle of water by the bed, I usually have a few sips if my mouth is dry as I'm trying to fall asleep but I very rarely wake up during the night needing a drink.

Passmethecrisps · 17/08/2018 22:05

I keep a glass by the bed. Some nights I have a sip. Some nights the whole glass gets drunk. I am often up for a wee anyway though.

MeetOnTheLedge · 17/08/2018 22:08

No, I never take water up to bed.

Bloodybridget · 17/08/2018 22:15

I always have a glass of water by my bed; I have a sip when I get into bed (because my mouth feels dry after I clean my teeth) and usually whenever I wake during the night, which can be a few times. But when I wake in the morning, I can't drink water at all, it makes me feel ill!

Notso · 17/08/2018 22:17

I have to take water to bed. I can guarantee if I don't I wake up thirsty.
I use a metal bottle now too keep it cold and protected after a hideous dead spider in my mouth incident!

Itchytights · 17/08/2018 22:17

I take it for the children but rarely for me.
Currently in bed with a large white wine, if that counts!!

It's diluting juice here Grin

TigerDroveAgain · 17/08/2018 22:24

I take a mug of rooibos tea up with me. I drink about half then dip into the cold tea (which I like!) during the night and in the morning. If I’m in a hurry in the morning I just shove some boiling water in the dregs and drink that

amusedbush · 17/08/2018 22:25

Only ever if I have a cold and my mouth is dry from breathing through it due to a blocked nose. Never otherwise.

LBOCS2 · 17/08/2018 22:27

Always. And I'm never up in the night for a pee either.

DollyDayScream · 17/08/2018 22:37

Always take tea and water to bed.

RedDwarves · 17/08/2018 22:47

No, but I drink around 2L of water during the day.

SunnyTikka · 17/08/2018 22:48

I hate drinking water but can't do without a drink at night so i have to have a glass of weak squash.
