However , in the evening , if you are somebody who has challenges with waking up excessively in the middle of the night , reduce your fluid intake provided you've hydrated properly throughout the day . And I suggest consuming no more than five , maybe eight ounces of fluid between the time of 10 hours after waking and when you go to sleep again , if you're very thirsty or you under hydrated , it's very hot . Feel free to ingest more fluid , please .
You need about eight ounces or 240 mL of fluid per hour for the 1st 10 hours of your day after waking . Now , why did I say for the 1st 10 hours ?
Feel free to ingest more fluid , please . But most people will find that if they reduce their fluid intake to about five ounces or less of fluid in that later part of the day , after 10 hours of having woken up and before sleep and they sip those beverages as opposed to gulping them , that they will have fewer bouts of waking up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom . And ideally zero .
First of all , make sure that you're hydrating sufficiently during the daytime , that will ensure that you are not excessively thirsty in the evening and therefore consuming a lot more fluid second . And related to that first point is that you do want to reduce your fluid intake at night provided you hydrated sufficiently throughout the day . And believe it or not , the rate at which fluid moves from your gut and into the cells and tissues of your body and then from your bladder into urine is determined not just by the volume of fluid you ingest , but also the rate at which you ingest that fluid .
And I suggest consuming no more than five , maybe eight ounces of fluid between the time of 10 hours after waking and when you go to sleep again , if you're very thirsty or you under hydrated , it's very hot . Feel free to ingest more fluid , please . But most people will find that if they reduce their fluid intake to about five ounces or less of fluid in that later part of the day , after 10 hours of having woken up and before sleep and they sip those beverages as opposed to gulping them , that they will have fewer bouts of waking up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom .
