Waking up for bathroom affects sleep quality which, in turn, can lead to many other issues. Stop drinking water 4h (not 2h) before going to bed.



Oh definitely. Well the problem with not drinking water before bed is that, then I wake up due to thirst. Which was originally why I started drinking more water (I still chronically drink too little water every day) and then caused waking up for toilet visit.


If you're waking up thirsty then that might be a symptom that you're mouth breathing at night. Have you tried video recording yourself at night to check?


That's an interesting point! Nope haven't recorded myself, I rarely wake up being dry in my mouth, if that's an indication, nor do I snore a lot or have the tendency to mouth breathe.

I would think (?) I would notice if I mouth breathe excessively, sine I hurt my throat while sleeping when I catched covid, and then I could only mouth breathe for several days due tapped nose. Noticeable difference

But recording / asking SO to check could be a good thing. Thanks for the suggestion!


How do you not feel thirsty?
