For years I've tended to become really thirsty at night. I need to drink about half a glass of water before bed, and every 20 minutes or so I stay awake, I need to drink a bit more. I often find myself waking up in the middle of the night, extremely thirsty, and unable to sleep until I drink more water. My water glass is usually empty at this point and I have to go downstairs to refill it.

I've been trying to do WILDs lately and notice that I need about 2 glasses of water with me for the night, since the process of falling asleep and getting thirsty happens again while I try to sleep the second time.

I've been wondering if it's the house I live in. It is old and dusty, but my family has moved three times in the last few years and I've never been rid of this issue. It isn't that big of a deal, I'm not very concerned about it. I just want to know if this happens to others. Do most people not even require water beside their beds while sleeping?
