4. Drinking Too Much Liquid Right Before Bed
Staying hydrated is essential for overall health, but consuming large amounts of water right before sleep can interrupt rest.
Frequent trips to the bathroom during the night can disturb sleep patterns and cause sudden changes in blood pressure when standing up quickly.
In older adults, this may lead to:
-
Lightheadedness
-
Loss of balance
-
Increased fatigue the next day
A practical approach is to drink most fluids earlier in the day and reduce intake in the final hours before bedtime.
