Why you’re waking up at night (and dehydrated) 💧
Hint: it’s not just age or water intake.
Ever wake up at night with a dry mouth, scratchy throat, or the sudden urge to pee — even when you didn’t drink much before bed?
The reason might not be water.
It’s how you breathe at night.
When you sleep and breathe with your mouth open, two things happen:
- Dry mouth & throat. You lose moisture with every exhale, and you wake with a dry mouth and throat.
- You wake up to pee more. Your brain senses that dehydration and triggers your kidneys to release more water. That’s why you wake up needing the bathroom.
In short — mouth breathing = water loss + bathroom trips + poor sleep.
The fix? Nose breathing.
Keep your lips sealed and breathe through your nose.
Your nose naturally humidifies and filters the air, keeping your body hydrated while helping your brain and heart rest properly.
Try this tonight:
✨ Keep your lips gently sealed (Use HAP Mouth Tape to support you) and breathe softly through your nose.
✨ If your nose feels blocked, try the nose decongestion exercise, and use a HAP Nose Strip to support opening the airway.
Here’s to effortless nose breathing to sleep deeper, wake lesser and start the day fresher.
