Whenever I wake up from a nap(only during the daytime), my first thought is water. I have been able to drink a whole gallon of water when I wake up. I really don't think this is normal. I always drink over eight cups of water a day. The weird thing Is I don't feel thirsty like this when I wake up from a standard night of sleep. Why is it that I am sooooo thirsty????

      I've thought about it, but I'm healthy otherwise. It only happens after a nap.

        Sleep causes dehydration.

    I wake up sometimes dehydrated, immediately rushing to drink water. I usually get like that when I'm getting sick... and my body is in attack mode.

    You have to hydrate yourself before you sleep. You won't wake up as thirsty.

    If you do and it doesn't work, then on your next visit to your physician, definitely bring up this question.

    It's normal to be dehydrated but not to drink a whole gallon of water...

            I told you to see a doctor before. You didnt listen. If something said looks simple it doesnt mean that it is bad.
