Drinking too much water before bed will cause your kidneys to produce more urine, leading to frequent trips to the bathroom. This can disrupt your natural sleep cycle and can be harmful to your health in the long run, according to Express.

Experts say: Constant disruptions in the sleep cycle, especially due to frequent trips to the bathroom at night, are actually a serious threat to overall health.

It can lead to increased stress, impaired cognitive function, weakened immune system, and even increased risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular problems and diabetes.

It's time we prioritize sleep for health benefits.

Expert Hainsworth recommends starting your water intake first thing in the morning and maintaining a steady intake throughout the day.

This way, you'll avoid consuming too much water in the evening, he adds.

As for the ideal time, experts recommend limiting water intake 2 hours before going to bed, according to Express .

This gives the body enough time to process the fluid, minimizing the risk of sleep disruption due to bathroom trips, he says.

Get into the habit of drinking water starting at the beginning of the day and spreading it out throughout the day. This helps balance your water intake and reduces overconsumption before bed.

Hainsworth also recommends avoiding alcohol, coffee, tea, and carbonated drinks before bed. Both caffeine and alcohol can interfere with sleep, he adds. These drinks act as diuretics, increasing urine production. Limit your intake, especially in the hours before bed.
