I, too, keep water by the bedside and drink some before falling asleep. However, the older I get, the less I drink, so I don't wake up every couple hours to pee. The moral of this story: don't get old.

this is true. my bladder wakes me up before most everything else, and it won't let me go back to sleep until it's addressed. I'd love to sleep 8-9 hours a night, but my kidneys have other plans for me. source: am old.

  I know it's practically sacreligious, but if you drink coffee, you should stop.

  Try having a look at Saw Palmetto tablets. It’s stopped my dad from having to wake twice in the night to use the bathroom.

Can this be mitigated by keeping the room a bit more humid, so you don't lose as much liquid through your skin? Especially in the winter, waking up in a room with sub 30% humidity is brutal.

I've found that drinking more water throughout the day has helped my nightly dehydration.
