Consuming no more than 5-8 ounces of fluid between 10 hours after waking and bedtime, and sipping it slowly, can reduce nighttime awakenings to urinate.

“However, in the evening, if you are somebody who has challenges with waking up excessively in the middle of the night, reduce your fluid intake provided you hydrate properly throughout the day, and I suggest consuming no more than 5, maybe 8 ounces of fluid between the time of 10 hours after waking and when you go to sleep. Again, if you're very thirsty or you under hydrate or it's very hot, feel free to ingest more fluid please. But most people will find that if they reduce their fluid intake to about 5 ounces or less of fluid in that later part of the day, after 10 hours of having woken up and before sleep, and they sip those beverages as opposed to gulping them, that they will have fewer bouts of waking up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom and ideally zero.”

“in addition to regulating what you drink it's when you drink it and what's in what you're drinking so a lot of people will come and and and come in with symptoms of nighttime urinary frequency and a lot of that is just you can modify with education saying hey don't you know don't drink you know two glasses of water right before you go to bed and if you get up in the middle of the night because you have to urinate don't drink another glass of water right when you get up to to urinate so so that kind of component of the education timing of when you take in those fluids and then what's in the fluids specifically caffeine um and there are some fluids that have natural diuretic properties”

“don't drink you know two glasses of water right before you go to bed and if you get up in the middle of the night because you have to urinate don't drink another glass of water right when you get up to to urinate”
