how do you stay hydrated overnight?

I don't know if I'm missing something simple here, or if it's just that I have no a/c and am asleep during the day, but I drink all. freaking. night. at work. We're talking 16 oz an hr, every hour, for the entire 8 hours. (it keeps me awake and gives me an excuse to get up and walk to the bathroom as often as possible) After I'm home, go to bed, and wake up though, I'm puffy and swollen and feel generally miserable until I have a few glasses of water. My first pee of the morning is really really dark and smells strongly. PMS is not helping, as it only intensifies this problem. Anyone else have this issue? How do you fix it?

    I wish I had that issue. I believe this is normal. Your body senses you are asleep and concentrates your pee so that you don't have to get up and go overnight, thus dark stinky pee in the morning. My body doesn't do this and I get up to pee many times at night. I don't know if having to pee is what wakes me up or if my insomnia and lack of deep sleep causes my brain not to send the "concentrate pee" signal to my bladder. Either way, it is a major problem.

    I get really dehydrated at night, I keep a bottle of water by the bed and any time I wake up I take a big swig. Otherwise I get awful muscle cramps.

    blah. It's not necessarily that the pee is concentrated, I think that's normal, it's that it's definintely indicative of me being super dehydrated. Like the color charts in the back of all the stalls at basic lol. I've tried just chugging water like mad right before I fall asleep but that doesn't do anything but make me wake up to pee. I just hate feeling so puffy in the mornings. Drenched in sweat + retaining water + eyes crusted shut + stumbling down the stairs for a drink of water = not the sexiest thing ever. 

    We have 3 fans in our bedroom, and it doesn't really help any. It's just really annoying.

    Maybe try drinking Gatorade before you go to bed?

    I thought it was normal to have dark "dehydrated" pee in the morning.  I have my whole life.

    I have definitely woken up a tad swollen and dying of thirst, but I sleep through the night (for the most part) so there's not much I can do about it.

    I keep a big glass of water next to my bed. Like the size cup that you'd get at a sporting event. I usually chug that before getting up.
