Tag: Sleep hydration

Sleep is the longest stretch of time most people go without any fluid intake, and for a small percentage of people, this results in noticeable thirst and dehydration upon waking. While a dry mouth is common, severe dehydration after waking up can signal underlying issues that require closer attention.

During sleep, your body naturally loses fluids through respiration and sweating, a process called nocturnal dehydration. For most people, a glass of water is sufficient, but in certain circumstances, people wonder, 'Can I take ORS before sleeping?' for more effective fluid and electrolyte replacement.
