I always do this. I would drink a cup of water after I wake up. I just feel thirsty whenever I wake up. I don't know what's the reason. Maybe sometimes I open up my mouth during the sleep,lol. A cup of water hydrates my throat and makes me feel better. How about you? Do you have this habit? Please tell me,thanks.

Hi yenwie84
Yes, I do drink a glass of plain water once i get up. It's a healthy habit. during sleep we don't drink water. SO if there is a deficiency of water in our body, it is immediately taken care of and you feel fresh. Also it helps to keep stomach healthy.

Hi yenwie. I think most of us wake up thirsty. I wake up all
night long and take a drink. I always leave something to drink
right next to the bed. Sometimes it's juice or water or even
soda which I know is definitely the wrong thing to be drinking.
I am thirsty all night long! But for me it has to do with the
medications that I take. I think you are right about opening
you mouth while you're sleeping. Most people do wake up with
a dry mouth. I think that's perfectly normal.

Hi yenwie
Yes, I do drink plain water after I wake up. It's good for health. It helps to clear your stomach. Also during sleep, we don't take water. So if there is any deficiency of water, it is immediately taken care of and you'll not feel fresh.

I do the same thing. My mouth is so dry when I first wake up that I always have a cup or bottle of water next to my bed so I can grab it as soon as I wake up.

I drink a cup of water when I wake up in the morning but it is always mixed with coffee I rarely ever drink water at any time of the day, it's just not my thing. But, I get lots of liquids since I drink a bunch of coffee from the time I get up until the time I go back to bed

I also drink 4-5 glasses of water after I wake up.It is a very good habit and keeps you healthy after cleasing the system's toxins.My husband had high BP he started drinking for last 2-3 years now his BP has come down considerably.So keep up the good habit and tell others also about benefits of drinking water early in the morning.
