I drink about a gallon and half of water each day and have been doing for the last few years. But in the last month or so I've been waking up so many times during the night to pee, and it's f****** up my sleep. I've stopped drinking water 2 hours before bed but it still happens. Anyone else having the same problem?
First question: Are you drinking to thirst or are you drinking an arbitrary amount of fluid per day?
Have you started taking creatine recently?

I don't drink fluids after 19.00 for this reason.
I've had this problem in the past. Nowadays I try to stick the majority of my fluids between a few hours in the afternoon.
I have a big drink when I get up, then don't drink again until Pre, Intra and Post-Workout. Then I fit the rest of my fluids in between about 1pm and 6pm.
The only drink I'll have after 6pm is a pre-bed shake... This seems to solve the problem !
I was actually asking around about this issue yesterday, good to see it's not just me.
I used to get up once a night, now it's twice, sometimes thrice.
Must say that I drink plenty of fluids, been doing so for ages and I don't think I increased my fluids recently.
Will reduce this to about 2 to 3 liters total and see how that goes, 4 is probably overkill.
I get up heaps, I do drink a ****load but

Can this be a cause? I am taking creatine and have to get up quite a few times at night.
