Coming from a humid country (...england...), I never understood the need to have a glass of water near the bed. Doesn't that just guarantee that you need to get up and pee in the middle of the night?

Then I spent one week in Beijing. One glass would not cut it.

I keep water by my bed at night. I usually don't drink any, but occasionally I've woken up and drank the whole thing without stopping, and other times I'll have a few sips.

It's worth it to not have to trudge to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I've had to do that - either because I forgot my water or ran out and was still thirsty - and it's not fun.

Our house is really dry, in winter especially. And I exercise in the evenings sometimes and am still rehydrating from that.

Idk, I always have a bottle of water at my bed. I mostly don't need it, but depending on what I ate I empty the whole bottle during the night. And I hate getting up just to get something to drink.

I'm in the south east and I keep a bottle nearby. Maybe I don't drink enough during the day.
