"Waking up thirsty" sounds totally normal, unless you always have a headache or some major dehydration symptoms besides thirst. You always breathe out some water vapor, and you can't drink while you sleep, so there's a limit to what you can do about it. Personally I just start hydrating right away in the morning, and I make sure to drink a certain amount every day. I think that's fine.

I don’t have headaches or low energy. Everything is normal throughout the day. Even the color of my urine isn’t very dark in the morning. But the amount of thirst I’m having is different. I usually wake up in the middle of the night thirsty then wake up thirsty again in the morning it’s really annoying lol I never need to urinate in the middle of the night though. So it sounds like you might be right that I’m losing water while breathing during my sleep

Have other things changed? Diet, medication, exercise? Maybe some other things is making you thirstier overall.

Also one great way to deal with excessive thirst is to get laaaiiiidd 😁

Nothing else has really changed but I cut back on dairy because I think I’m lactose intolerant. But my morning thirst is the same regardless of how much dairy I consume.

Can’t get laid right now

Maybe I’ll substitute a sauna trip for getting laid
