Hydration doesn’t stop when you go to bed. While you sleep, your body continues essential functions that require water, such as cellular repair and detoxification. To prevent dehydration overnight, consider drinking a glass of water before bed (but not too much to disrupt sleep). You can also boost hydration by using a humidifier in your bedroom, especially in dry climates, and applying a hydrating night cream or serum to keep your skin moisturized. By making small adjustments to your nighttime routine, you can wake up feeling refreshed and well-hydrated.
