    Omg YES its horrible because I end up having to go to the bathroom at like 4am!!

    I *think* its either because I get behind on my water during the early evening/late afternoon (like 4pm to 7pm) and maybe also because I do evening workouts which always make me thirsty.

    Try to drink more throughout the day, I guess.

    Don't forget you need extra water before, during and after exercise. Not included in the recommended 2L, I'm pretty sure anyway.

    For me it depends on the temperature - a hot room makes me want water more than running outside. I don't sweat much (defective in that way) so water replenishment is not as big of a deal for me as it is for some people.

    And of course depends on how dry or wet the food I ate that day was.

    But I do think that the pre-bed guzzle is mostly from neglecting water throughout the evening. Like I drink a lot at work, pee it out, then I don't drink much water for 4 hours and my body thinks "woah I just let flushed a lot of water thinking I'd get more and now its not coming" so it kind of sends you "yo ***** what up" signals.

    I just chugged a bottle.

    OMB This happens to me. I dont know why but I get super thirsty at night and then I end up waking up like 2 or 3 times at night because I have to go pee.
