If you wake up in the middle of the night with no apparent reason, you may need to drink some water. Even mild dehydration dries out the mouth and nasal passages, which can lead to snoring and hoarseness in the morning, according to the National Sleep Foundation. It’s common to lose fluid during sleep by simply breathing, especially if you breathe through the mouth.
Next, it’s all about the color…..

i had a urine infection..the md gave antibiotic to cure the vaginal infections
within two hours my bowels became loose for 24 hours . I never knew this would happen.I used the bathroom at night..getting up out of bed immediately illustrated that i was needing the bathroom and fell
I fell three times
I went to a hospital emergency room and liquid was inserted in my veins
After 8 hours…i wad told to go home and have been drinking glasses of water all day
I am feeling better
At 80 years old this is my first experience re dehydration
Rosalie, sooo happy you are feeling better! I lost a kidney last year, water is my only beverage of choice for years now. 🙂
Good read!!! I’m a water pusher to every one. My family knows now ant ack or problem……Drink water I tell them.
It is easier to drink water with a straw. Try it I know you will enjoy it
My relatively low blood pressure and thin size makes nurses assume I do lots of running. But the downside is tendency to experience lightheaded when ignoring hydration and working up a sweat outdoors or indoors. Orthostatic hypotension readily occurs on standing upright—sometimes causing lightheaded or dizzy. Watching color of my urine can tip me off rather than “tipping me over. So important to get fluids (not beer, ectera) to re-hydrate. At age 81, definitely don’t want to feel tipsy from low fluids and low BP on standing. So proud to not have hypertension, but have the other extreme—-equally dangerous.
I forgot my gloves!!!
I am so glad I came across this article I am going to be drinking more water because some of the things listed are things that I have experienced so thank you
Dry lips, dry hair, dry skin, choking in the night, BP went up, all because of a dry bedroom.
Essential oil in defuser was not enough, but really helped. Spending time outside really helped. Humidifier is the answer, instead of a apnea mask., bowls of water in the room. The AC was actually drying out the air, even when set at 80. Drinking water with ice cubes made it more refreshing, with a dash of lemon and powered magnesium for a little fizz .
Thanks for not bothering to explain what people can do other than just try to drink more water to make up for the shortfall.
That is exactly the answer. Drink plenty of water. The only other answer is that if you are so dehydrated that you are dizzy, falling down and passing out is to get to an ER and have fluid replaced via IV directly into vein. Remember to have a good balanced diet too as you also take in some fluid via the food you eat. Juicy fruits are always good too. Take it from someone who has had kidney disease, dialysis and a transplant, fluid is extremely important for the health of your kidneys. Kidney disease is no fun and dialysis is painful.
ER? … and good insurance.
There is nothing else to drinking water solves the issue. Add a drink water app on your phone or place a sign on your front door before you leave the home. Always leave with a bottle of water.
Some of those reasons I knew but there were a few that really surprised me. One was how much water you should drink, an hour, another that not enough water causes migraines. another the cause of muscle cramps in the legs. Everyone should read this.
Gee, this reminds me that my leg muscle often cramp after working up a sweat after laboring outdoors or indoors. No doctor ever made connection between my invariably nocturnal cramps and poor hydration following daytime physical labors. Naturally at age 81, I want to avoid not hydrate just before bed. But i think it is best, especially after intense physical activity. Water will spare me a sleepless night and a bit of nocturnal urination increase can spare me those awful toe and calf cramps. In Florida that hydration need is very, very important to outdoor type like me.
Are other fluids you drink considered part of your daily hydration consumption?
Very good and helpful information
I sat on the carpet for 6 hours before my wife saved my life . I was stuck and could not get up. My big fat ass was wedged on the bowl
Thanks so much for this information. I often have leg cramps and headaches
Starting today will drink more water because I have several of these symptons
I take several medications, including a water pill. If I don’t, I swell. I am not much of a drinker of anything during the day, let alone water. However, I do get a dry mouth, and that’s when I drink something. I feel like I have to concentrate when I urinate, and I’ve recently had a kidney infection. Could this all be from not drinking enough water?
I’ve had just about every symptom described, been living on the cusp of severe dehydration since I was a kid and now too at age 78 – some people refuse to learn, ha.
I’m recovering from bladder tumor cancer that may have a cause related to dehydration. In 2010 I suddenly developed extreme case of sciatica and could hardly walk at all for two weeks and was fine after one month, then one year to the day I got it again but took almost a year to heal, and only on hindsight did I come to believe it was all related to dehydration, and possibly not enough raw veggies in diet.
I am of the belief that most “old” folks die from dehydration as the immediate cause than anything else. I never take drugs even if prescribed but rely on Vitamin/Mineral supplements and 5,000 to 10,000 mgs. Vitamin C daily; and won’t ever see a doctor unless I think I’m dying. ciao.
