However, consideration should be given to individuals with different health conditions.

Drinking water before going to bed is not good for people with kidney or heart disease.

This is because the excess water forces the kidneys to work harder and thus puts more pressure on kidneys that are already weakened and not working effectively in removing fluid from the body.

Drinking water before bed can also be a problem as it disrupts sleep. A person may wake up once or more to go to the toilet. Some people are not well if they do not get a good night’s sleep and so they should avoid going to the toilet too often at night.

For such people it is best to avoid drinking water about 2 hours before going to bed. They should also make sure they go to the toilet before going to bed, and about twice if necessary.

For people with good health conditions, it is advisable to drink water before going to bed.

Water contains many minerals and nutrients needed for the body to function properly.

Helps rehydrate the body

Drinking a glass of water before going to bed helps to replenish the amount of water that the body loses through activities during the day. Because the body is mostly water, we need to provide enough water for the body to function normally.

Because we are not very active while sleeping, our bodies do not lose much water. If we drink water before going to bed, our bodies only need to take in the amount of water they need.

Burn calories

Water is a natural calorie burner. You may have heard that drinking ice water is a great way to burn calories and help you lose weight.

When we drink cold water, our body has to work twice as hard as usual to keep our body warm, and increasing metabolism will help burn calories quickly.

If we drink water before going to bed, our body will start to work harder to keep the body cool, increasing metabolism. Because at this time the body does not take in any more energy, it will burn the calories that the body had before.

Helps you sleep well

Naturally, the body will balance the amount of vitamins, nutrients and minerals when drinking water, compensating for lost water and helping the body function normally.

Drinking water before going to bed will help balance hormones, energy, muscles and joints in the body; helping us feel comfortable and restore energy in the early morning.

When we sleep, water has time to penetrate and replenish water in each part of the body. Thus, drinking water before going to bed helps us sleep better, relax muscles, and balance vitamins and minerals.

Eliminate toxins

Water is a natural cleanser. The body absorbs many toxins from food, the environment, and other factors. Constantly removing toxins will help keep the body healthy and functioning properly.

Drinking water before going to bed will provide the body with more water and time to eliminate toxins, good for the digestive system, muscles and even the skin. That helps us feel more comfortable, lose weight faster and have more energy for a day full of activities.

In addition to the usual health benefits, drinking a glass of water before going to bed also has a big and positive impact on our lifestyle. It helps us sleep better, be more alert for daily activities, digest food, and lose weight more easily.
