I used to get insatiable thirst in the middle of the night. Then I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and got my blood sugar under control and it doesn’t happen so much anymore.

If you are getting super dehydrated overnight you might be diabetic, might want to get checked.

(Thats how I found out I was diabetic… that and the leg/foot cramps.)

Every once in a great while I’ll suddenly awaken to violent, parched coughing from dehydration. It’s no fun at all, so I try not to go to sleep thirsty.

My problem is different

• Waking up at >9:30
• Me: ‘cof, cof’ njmgrhaa
• My body: coffee
• Me: arglksdfr?
• My Body: COFFEE

Dayly routine of an old retiree

Go and get checked for sleep apnea.

This was happening to me alot. Waking up multiple times a night, desperate for water, like, pints of it, then do a big wee and back to bed.

I started getting issue with staying alert and awake in the day, i was dozing off in work meetings (not fully, but like when your head dips and just jolt awake again)

If you dont have it, then great, mark that off the list.

If you do have it, get it dealt with because it’s bad for your heart as your body uses adrenaline to wake you when you stop breathing and leaving it untreated shaves years off your life.

If you let it go too far you can be suspended from driving and all sorts until you get it under control.

And then I chug a bunch of water so my body will let me sleep. And then about an hour before I have to wake up my body is like “PEE TIME”

Who invented this system? It sucks.

Your unconscious brain long to be back in the ocean

And when/if you get 50+ you’ll be doing it to drain out

“What about it?”

“ThErE’s ToO MuCh In YoU, gEt Up AnD PeE.”

Could be your body needs the water to flush out the trash in your brain while you sleep and runs out before its done

Diabetes

Reminds me of this part in The Simpsons Guy:

Meg: I matter.

Lisa: Louder!

Meg: I MATTER!!!

Peter: Shut up Meg, you don’t matter!

Sleeping with the mouth open? Drinking alcohol right before bed?
