Why is drinking water before bedtime good?
Did you know that drinking a glass of water before bedtime promotes a better night’s sleep? We all know water is one of the healthiest drinks available to us but there are some valuable benefits from having a glass before you go to sleep each night.
Promotes sleep
Drinking a glass of water before bed allows your body to stabilise its hormone levels as well as its vitamin and nutrient levels. Joints and muscles also become balanced in this process and so having water before bed allows the body to restore itself naturally. The cool water will allow your body to relax instead of working harder to replenish your necessary nutrients. By doing so, you are provided with a full night of rest. Did you know a third of the UK population don't drink any water in the day? We must all drink the recommended eight glasses or more! By drinking more water our body becomes energised and better equipped to digest food and burn calories more efficiently. We then wake up feeling more rested and alert for the day ahead.![tabletop-water-cooler-white](https://www.watercoolersdirect.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/6TC-300x200.jpg)
Burns calories
Consuming cold water before bed can also help your body to burn more calories during the night while you sleep! Water is a natural calorie burner and drinking cold water before bed causes your body to have to work twice as hard to warm the water up while you are resting, thus burning more calories. Of course, you are not taking in any calories while you sleep, so your body is burning the excess calories that are already there while you are sleeping. This is a great way to lose some extra weight, and another of the many positive health benefits water provides. Drink more water before bed and watch those extra calories disappear!Natural cleanser
Water is, of course, a natural cleanser. Having a cup of water before bed fuels the body for the extra time it has overnight to cleanse your system of toxins that have been gathered during the day. Your digestive system, as well as your skin and muscles, will benefit. A glass of water before bed also helps to keep your body hydrated, as the body is composed mostly of water. Cold water before sleeping helps to maintain hydration levels throughout the body and keep you healthy.![Lemon Tea](https://www.watercoolersdirect.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/hotwaterlemon.jpg)
