I drink water like a fountain every day, like 2,5 liters and everything is good during the day. But every morning when I do my (sorry) morning pee its such a dark yellow color, I looked at urine chars and its about lever 5, severe dehydration. Why am I dehydrated and what can I do? It's not like I can drink water when I sleep?

    I doubt you are dehydrated. When you are sleeping your body revs up and processes out of the left over junk in your system. It isn't just color of urine but the amount as well. if you only peed a tablespoon of urine that was that color I would be worried.

    its that colour because you havent pee'd for 7-8 hours because you've been asleep... its fine.

    Yeah as long as its only dark yellow in the morning,and you drink water during the day you are fine :D things like tea,coffee and soda will dehydrate you (you probably know this) so watch out for those! :)

    Dude you are fine. It's meant to be like that. If it was like that at lunch time I'd be worried.

    Don't worry - I drink heaps of water too, and no matter how much I drink, whenever I get on body analysis scales they always say my water content is about 45% which is very dehydrated - so who knows?? lol

    Soda Pop coke Tea and coffee wil NOT dehydrate you. They are mostly water, Coffee is a MILD diuretic (makes you go to the toilet) but so is water, check your fact before posting.
