Dehydration happens when your body gets rid of more fluids, usually through sweating or going to the bathroom more than normal, than it absorbs. Drinking too little water during exercise, hot weather, or daily activities can also cause the body to use up its stored water.
Nocturia is defined as the excessive need to get up and urinate during the night. 1  You may find yourself using the bathroom several times per night and this can be disruptive to your sleep. It is generally considered to be abnormal to wake to urinate when it occurs more than once at night.
1. Stick to a sleep schedule. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, even on weekends, holidays and days off. Being consistent reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle and helps promote better sleep at night. There's a caveat, though. If you don't fall asleep within about 15 minutes, get up and do something relaxing.
