Sleep Dehydration Posted: 12-22-07 02:23am
I've been waking up several hours after
falling asleep EXTREMELY thirsty, and end
up downing a glass and a half of ice water
to feel better. Any idea on what could be
causing this, and sould I be worried ?

For how long this is happening?
Did you wake up ever night in a row for a
longer period?
Are you waking up all in sweat?
Do you usually have big meal before going
to bed?

Try to drink more during the day. You
should have a minimum of 6-8 glasses of
water in the day to keep yourself
hydrated. Try to get it all in at least
couple hours before bedtime tho so that
you don't have to pee all night lol.
There are many medical reasons why you
could have terrible thirst from diabetes
to drug side effects, even tho I don't
know why it only occurs at night. My best
bet though is that you are just not
staying well hydrated. We don't think to
drink during the winter months because it
is cooler, but you can become dehydrated
just as easily.
If drinking more during the day doesn't
help after a week or two of upping your
water intake, you should probably see your
doctor.
