Midnight Hydration: Yay or Nay?
You’ve brushed your teeth. You’re about to crawl into bed. And then it hits you: Am I… thirsty?
Should you reach for plain water? Tea? Or — curveball — electrolytes?
Yes, the same stuff you drink after a run might just have a place in your pre-sleep ritual. So let’s answer the question: Should you drink electrolytes before bed?
First, Why Do You Even Wake Up Thirsty?
A few common culprits:
-
Dehydration from coffee, wine, or workouts
-
Dry environments (hello, winter air + AC)
-
Low electrolyte levels from sweating or not replenishing
-
Just plain forgetting to drink water all day
You may not feel it until your head hits the pillow, but your body keeps working all night — and hydration still matters.
Why Electrolytes Can Help (But Aren’t Sleepytime Magic)
Drinking water before bed is fine. But if you’re low on key minerals like sodium and potassium, your body may not retain that water — meaning midnight bathroom runs or still waking up thirsty.
Adding electrolytes before bed can help support:
-
Fluid balance
-
Recovery from physical activity
-
Waking up a little less like a dried sponge
BUT — it’s not a sleep aid, and we’re not making miracle promises. Just a smarter sip.
