Drinking water is an indispensable habit to maintain health, but few people know that drinking water in the evening also has a significant impact on sleep quality.
First of all, the time to drink water in the evening is very important. Experts recommend drinking water 1 to 1.5 hours before bed instead of right before bed. According to experts, drinking water too close to bedtime can cause the bladder to be more active at night, causing overnight, thereby disrupting sleep. Therefore, if you drink about 150200ml of water 1 hour before bed, your body will have enough time to absorb water without putting pressure on the excretionary system while you sleep.
Second, the type of drink also needs to be chosen carefully. Warm water is the simplest and most effective choice because it helps warm the body, supports blood circulation and relax muscles. Some types of water that are gentle-soothing such as herbal tea (chucum tea, mint tea) or warm milk are also good when consumed in moderation.
Third, do not drink too much water in the evening, especially after dinner. Drinking too much water not only causes bloating but also affects the functioning of the kidneys and bladder. Be careful to avoid caffeinated drinks such as coffee, black tea, or carbonated soft drinks because they stimulate the nerves and easily cause insomnia.
To get a good night's sleep, you need to drink the right amount of water at the right time, in the right type and at the right amount. A small habit that if done correctly will bring long-term benefits to health and sleep quality.
