The quality of your sleep is also influenced by your drinking water intake.
How is that possible? Here’s why.
The relationship between hydration and sleep
Are you curious, why can we sleep without feeling thirsty? That’s because when we sleep, the brain releases the hormone vasopressin which helps the body retain water. However, if the body is not well hydrated, it will make sleep less quality such as difficulty sleeping, waking up several times, dry mouth, thirst, headaches, and muscle cramps*.
The effect of dehydration on sleep quality
Sleep deprivation interferes with the release of the hormone vasopressin , which causes the body to release water that it would otherwise retain. Chronic sleep deprivation can also impair kidney function, making it more difficult for the body to regulate water levels effectively.
Tips for staying hydrated and getting quality sleep
There are several steps you can take to ensure you are well hydrated when it’s time to go to bed and don’t become dehydrated during the night.
- Consume fruits and vegetables that contain a lot of water such as watermelon, pears, oranges, spinach, pumpkin, and carrots .
- Limit caffeine and alcohol intake, both of which are diuretics, which cause body fluid levels to decrease by increasing the frequency of urination.
- Fulfill your drinking water needs at least 8 glasses a day. Also make sure your drinking water is free from contaminants.
