For years I got up in the night. I'd wake at about 3am, spend 10 or 15 minutes trying to pretend I didn't need the loo, decide I did need the loo, get up and wee then go back to bed. This process probably took 25 minutes from beginning to end and was absolutely predictable.

That's all changed now - I very rarely get up in the night and usually sleep right through. What am I doing differently? It's sooooooooo simple! I (generally) make sure that I've finished all my liquids for the day by 6pm. IT WORKS!! I now feel quite silly that I never made the connection before and would rate my sleep at 8 or 9 out of ten instead of 7-ish. The knock on effect has been pretty remarkable too.

So, if you get up most nights to go to the loo, stop drinking your liquids by 6pm. Just give it a go and see what happens. I'd love to hear of any success stories!
