Good ways to get to sleep

As it happens, the latest research has shown there is no evidence that drinking lots of fluid is good for you. You should only drink when you are thirsty.

And this after years of being told that we should all drink 17 litres a day.

 

There's clearly a thriving market for "latest research that expressly contradicts the last lot of latest research". Or at least some bloody good grants involved, since everybody seems to be at it rather than doing anything actively useful...

Try getting up before Neighbours.

 

The only thing I can add is drink lots of water during the day.

 

Or if you can, force yourself to get up really early one day after barely any sleep and try to have a normal day. By the time night comes you'll be absolutely shattered.

 

Why's water going to help?

I thought if you waited until you were thirsty it was already too late - you were dehydrated by then? Surely drinking plenty water keeps your system flushed through and that. And stops you having stinky orange piss.

I'm still using the evidence that shows that being hydrated has many benefits for you - helping you sleep, exercise and concentrate. As far as I know what Gemmill said is right - if you're thirsty then you should have already had a drink.

Well, it turns out there was no research done on it at all, as I found out when researching why it is recommended to drink lots of fluid if you have the common cold. Getting thirsty is an indicator you need fluid, you should trust your body to know best. Drinking lots of water isn't usually harmful of course unless you really overdo it but it does require more pisses which is irritating.

 

Also it turns out tea and coffee are not bad for you as has been made out, and, with the exception of really strong coffee, they don't dehydrate you.

 

Another myth is salt is really bad for you. There is almost no evidence for this at all. A high salt diet may raise your blood pressure by a very small amount, which may have a noticeable effect on populations, but the effect on the individual is very slight. I really don't understand the governments official line on salt reduction which verges on hysteria. And they've made pot noodles taste shit: FACT.

I'd like to see that evidence. Real evidence that is, as opposed to common belief, which is often wrong.

Fair enough. I actually like drinking lots of water at work, as going to the bog gives me something to do.

Wasters like you are obstructing my path into employment!

 

I don't work at McDonalds, Alphonso. ;)

I am being nice to you by not cluttering your path to the grill. Flip away at those burgers, my son! Regale your co-workers with stories from history on your way to five stars on your badge! Wow them all come election time with your knowledge of the political system, as you separate the slices of Kraft cheese! ;)

I'll get you back with a more witty response later :)
