Do you usually take a glass of water to bed?

[SwimLessonConfusion]

New couple. One always takes a glass of water to bed. The other never does. Both think the other is strange (light heartedly). What is normal for you?

Yes, I have done for as long as I remember and a cup of camomile tea.

Dh does. I don't. One dd does, the other doesn't.

I take a bottle because the cat would drink from the glass and / or deliberately knock it over

I'm the same. If I'm even slightly bunged up I often wake up with a dry throat or a bit of a cough that needs soothing.

I've never felt the need for a drink of water at night.

DH puts a glass of water on his bedside table. One of our cats creeps into the bedroom in the middle of the night and drinks out of it.😂

I do, he doesn’t.

He’ll drink from the tap like a weirdo if he needs to.

Always. Pint of water to bed each night. By morning I have usually drunk about half, sometimes more. Hot days or if I have a cold etc I will have drunk most/all by morning. I need to drink water throughout the day too. I speak a lot for work and sinus bother means I often have a dry mouth which I hate.

I take my water bottle to bed every night.

Yes I’ve done it all my adult life I leave a two litre bottle of water by my bed and a cup always

Yes always! Brushing my teeth makes me thirsty so I always need to have a drink after that and if I wake during the night I need to drink something usually. I don’t need to wee in the night.

Yikes - that’s really bad for your teeth!

Snap! BF started it.

Guarantee I’ll need it if I don’t have it now.

I have a mug with a lid to ensure this never happens

You don't understand that people might get thirsty?

Yes, I take a bottle of water to bed each night. I rarely drink that much of it, but it is to wet my mouth, which can be unpleasantly dry if I do wake up.

Always

I always have two bottles of water by the bed just in case I finish the first one .

Why if it’s sugar free? I always have a glass of weak squash on my bedside table
when I say weak, this is blackcurrant so you can see how weak I make it!

Never have, perhaps only when unwell. Don't understand why you would need water in the night.

More than just a glass, a bottle of mineral water! I like to drink some of it first thjng in the morning or if I wake up in between.

Not since it became my cat’s permanent source of water. 😹

Doesn’t matter - it’s the acid in it that affects your teeth no matter how dilute. Basically anything other than water will affect your teeth.

I fill an Owala 1/3 full so I have cold water if I want it. I usually don’t but sometimes I wake up with an ache or pain and use it to take ibuprofen. Otherwise I’ll use it to take pills in the morning.

Ah ok. Oh well. Drinking it weak means I drink plenty of water at least its not all day as I can’t drink at my desk at work

I sometimes bring a glass up if I remember but will only have a sip or 2. Otherwise I’ll be up and down to the loo all night. My bladder wouldn’t hold the amount some of you drink during the night.

Same here too. With that plus dry mouth from meds I like to have something on hand to drink at all times, tbh.
