Drinking excessive amounts of water right before bedtime produces negative effects. The practice of drinking water before sleep will result in multiple nighttime bathroom trips for people who want to sleep through the night.
Your kidneys maintain their operation throughout the entire night by processing all substances that enter your body. Drinking excessive water before sleep will result in a full bladder which disrupts your ability to rest.
The disruption of sleep patterns causes problems with hormone regulation and immune function and metabolic rate and emotional state. The benefit of drinking water before sleep does not justify the disruption it causes to your rest.
The key to undisturbed sleep requires you to stop drinking fluids at least two to three hours before your bedtime. You should only drink small amounts of water when you feel thirsty but avoid drinking a full glass. The constant need to drink water during nighttime hours indicates that your body remains dehydrated throughout the day. The solution to your nighttime thirst problem exists in drinking enough water during the morning and early afternoon instead of at night.
