My dr told me not to drink way too much water, certainly not 64 oz since it can cause problems when you are “waterlogged”.

Anything with caramel coloring...like colas...stimulates the bladder according to my dr, so I avoid anything like that especially in the late afternoon. My bladder has all the stimulation it needs.

I’ve been that way my whole life, getting up at least twice a night.

NOT mentioning this to PREACH, but I am finding that I'm happier and happier the less sodium I consume, the better I feel, and the less I need to get up at night.

I KNOW I'm usually more DE-hydrated than over-hydrated, so the sodium connection is pretty impossible for me to ignore.

Well, I hate to admit it but I do understand.  This is how I am approaching it.  Nothing to drink too soon before bedtime.  No coffee after 3:00 pm. If I get really thirsty during the night I take only a sip or two of water.  If I get thirsty again I get a sugarless throat lozenger and keep two extras by my bed in case.  I'm going to sleep well if it kills me, by Golly!!!!
