Can you sleep when you're very thirsty? Me, I cannot sleep anymore! I don't know why. That kind of feeling always forces me to get up and get water from our fridge. It's kind of a hassle for me especially when I still feel very sleepy. How about you? What's your point of view or experience about this? Feel free to share. Happy myLotting!

No. It is difficult to sleep that is why I drink a glass of water or a milk before I when to sleep. And I fell so good. Sweet dreams. About nice things in life. 7-8 hours of sleep my average.

I cant I will go to the faucet and get some glass to drink. I will satisfy my drink so that I can go back to sleep again. Even though sleepy I would try to wake up to satisfy my needs. Its difficult to continue sleeping if you are so thirsty.

Yeah.. I agree with you. It really is a hassle especially when you're already feeling very sleepy and suddenly, you'll feel really thirsty. It will force you to get up and have a drink even if you don't want to. It's one of the things I hate the most, hehe Thanks for responding and happy myLotting!

No, certainly not!! I can't sleep without drinking water. Before going to sleep, I always drink one or two glasses of cold water as it gives more comfort while sleeping, or else I would have to get up from my sleep late in the night and fetch myself with water!!

I always drink a cup of water before go to sleep. I do it after i have brushing my teeth. Recently we got unusual weather. The hot is strange and there's a brand new disease spreaded. So taking good care for our own health is necessary. I also can't sleep if i feel thirsty. Weather is too hot and our body hydro evaporation processing too fast in those heat weather. So having enough water is very important to keeping our fresh inside. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I also feel thirsty at night so I get up sometimes to get some water for myself. If I am going to sleep in my friend's place, I will ask a glass of water before sleeping so that I don't have to go down the stairs to get a drink. There are times that I also feel very thirsty when I wake up so I drink some water first thing in the morning. I am already used to that. I can still enjoy a good night sleep as I only wake up 1-2 times at night to get some water for me.

I can't sleep when I feel very thirsty but I won't drink a lot of water before sleep or get up to drink a lot while sleeping. I will drink one or two slip if I'm really very thirsty as I don't want to have puffy eyes the next morning.

I can sometimes ignore it, but other times I can't. When I can't I just get up and go to our dresser where we set our drinks so that we can easily get to them in the night when we're thirsty. If we're hungry we do get up to go to the kitchen, same thing for if we need a refill on our drink. I only get thirsty about three times a night. Out of those three times, once I ignore it, and twice I get up.

I never go to sleep when I feel that i'm thirsy. I guess it's something in my mind that I feel I must do before I go to bed. I also go to the bathroom every time before I go to bed. I think I do it to avoid the thoughts of me being thirsy, and then when I close my eyes I don't have to think about it and that way I fall asleep a lot faster.

What a coincidence, I have this problem as well. Well, I drink a lot and get back to sleep. Luckly, everytime I do this, I can sleep very well. But, some one said that drinking too much just before you go to sleep is bad to your eyes. Any ideas ?

i agree. It's pretty tough for me to get sleep if i'm feeling thirsty. It's like on one hand i'm not getting sleep because i'm thirsty. On the other hand i'm feeling too sleepy to get up and drink some water. best think to do is to keep a bottle of water next to the bed.

I cannot sleep when I am thirsty. I always keep a bottle of water near me so that I can take water when I am thirsty in the middle of the night. Once I was in another house and I had no water near me and I couldn't sleep the whole night feeling very thirsty.

i cannot sleep if i fell thirsty and i will get up and drink water before sleep.It will disturb my sleeping if i feel thirsty maybe because it will connect to our body and brain to tell us we need water.We must drink because it is important for our body.
