Is it good to drink water before bedtime?
Disease description:
The temperature at home has been high recently, and the indoor air is quite dry. Every night before bed, I drink a lot of water, but I wake up each morning with puffy eyes. I’d like to ask: Is it healthy to drink water before going to bed?

Hello, for healthy individuals, drinking an appropriate amount of water before bedtime generally does not adversely affect health. However, for patients with severe kidney disease or compromised cardiac function, drinking water before sleep may pose certain health risks. Regardless of one’s health status, consuming large amounts of water before bedtime can disrupt sleep—for example, by increasing the frequency of nocturnal awakenings to urinate. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
