Lesson Overview

12.38 – Drinking Water vs. Avoiding Nighttime Wake-Ups: Hydration affects sleep more than most realize. Too little water leads to dry mouth, leg cramps, and restless sleep, while too much close to bedtime causes disruptive trips to the bathroom. Balance is key—drink consistently through the day and taper one to two hours before sleep. Keep a small sip-sized bottle nearby in case of dryness, not a full glass. Avoid sugary drinks or caffeine late at night since both trigger wakefulness. Proper hydration supports body temperature control and helps your muscles relax smoothly. If you wake often thirsty, increase fluids earlier in the day instead of compensating late. Listening to your body teaches balance. The goal isn’t zero interruptions—it’s smarter timing. When hydration habits stabilize, you fall asleep easier, stay asleep longer, and wake feeling refreshed, proving even water management is a subtle form of sleep hygiene mastery.
