I will have one. I have the habit of drinking lots of water. I never let my body to feel thirsty. I drink water even before feeling thirsty. So I always have a bottle near me - when I work and when I sleep too. How about you? Do you have a water bottle near you when you sleep?

Before going to bed I always make sure I have a bottle of water on my bedside table because I always wake up with a dry mouth and get very thirsty and rather than wake the household up by going downstairs to get a glass of water, I have the water bottle which I have fresh each night within reach.

That is a good idea..But do you have the habit of drinking water in the night at half sleep..

Yes and I have knocked it over a few times in the dark! That's why I have a bottle rather than a glass!

Hi friend ,I dont have the habit of drinking water when sleeping,but my hub has the habit from the beginning.He drinks nearly 2 litres of water even during nights.Everyday from the time we got married I keep 2 bottles by the side of his bed.But sometimes the dehyderation would be due to some other reasons like diabetes etc,so if you develop the habit suddenly and if its not your habit from the beginning you got to check up with the doctor.Drinking lots of water is good and it removes acidity.thanks for sharing.happy mytlotting.

I lived in the hot desert for nearly 3 decades so even though I'm back in the midwest, I always have water. It's a good habit. It's in my car, at work, at my desk and beside my bed. They say if you feel thirsty that you're already dehydrated so you're doing the right thing. I love not having to get up out of bed in the middle of the night for a drink of water.

It is always a good idea to have a bottle wherever we go..We may never know, when we may need it as an urgent case..

Yup,I always have my water bottle near by me even when I go to bed.I have this habit of waking up in the middle of the night and then I feel thirsty,kitchen is downstairs so it is better if I keep a bottle of water near by my bedside.I can just drink it and go back to sleep.No need to run downstairs for a glass of water.

yes, I too have to go down the stairs to have water if I don't have a bottle near me..Just imagine if you needed water as a case of emergency at night and running to kitchen at that time..So I have a bottle near me when I go to bed.

That is good. In that case, it would be very easy for you to reach to the waterbottle even during the nights..
