I have also found that I wake often during the night, my mouth as dry as a desert! I am literally *gasping* for water! The first time this happened I couldn't figure out why, but oh my, I have *never* been so parched in my life! I keep water by the bed, and carry a squeeze bottle with me everywhere I go now.
I drink a bottle before each meal, and then sips with the meal, and about 30mins after I eat, another full bottle. The rest of the time I find myself sipping because I am dry mouthed and really thirsty.
I find myself now not craving, or even being satisified with other types of liquids, ie: tea, SF sodas, etc.
I am making a conscious effort to drink water *with* my coffee (I still have headaches that require caffiene to soothe - coffee is a medicine for me), to counter the effects of the caffiene. My bottle is 24 oz, and I am trying to be sure I fill it at least 6 times a day, though usually more. Sometimes, I thirst for it, as above, other times, I have to make a conscious effort to just *drink*, sorta like taking medicine. You just gotta do it! Lol.
