eli5: Why does it feel so euphoric when we drink water during the middle of the night compared to during the day?
In: Biology
During the day if you get a bit thirsty you have a drink. You usually would do this long before you would become uncomfortable enough that it would wake you up. You also likely end up sleeping with your mouth open so it dries your mouth & throat out & that is what you are relieving more than actual thirst.
