Always thirsty at midnight? Don't always think that it is water shortage, but it may be a "warning" issued by the body.
Dry mouth in the middle of the night is divided into two situations, one is caused by physiological factors and the other is caused by pathological factors.
Physiological factors
If the indoor humidity is low and the temperature is high, the human nasal mucosa will be short of water, leading to dry mouth. To alleviate this problem, we must replenish water in time and adjust the indoor temperature and humidity.
The optimum temperature for sleeping in the bedroom is 18~23, and the optimum humidity is 60%~65%. You can put a few pots of green plants or humidifiers in the room, which can effectively alleviate the problem of dry mouth.
Pathological factors
1, diabetes
Diabetes is also called "the cancer that never dies". When the insulin secretion in the body is insufficient or the function is defective, the sugar in the body cannot be metabolized and excreted, and it accumulates more and more in the body, eventually forming diabetes.
The most typical clinical manifestations of diabetic patients are "three more and one less", that is, polyuria, polydipsia and emaciation. Diabetics are prone to dry mouth when sleeping at night and get up frequently.
2, hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is short for hyperthyroidism. The main reason is thyrotoxicosis induced by excessive thyroid hormone secretion. After hyperthyroidism, physical activity will accelerate, the excitability of nerve, circulation and digestive system will increase, and metabolic function will be hyperactive.
Hyperthyroidism patients will have abnormal manifestations, such as emaciation, overeating, palpitation, sweating and so on. Hyperthyroidism patients are prone to fatigue, rapid heartbeat, bad temper, dry mouth and other abnormal manifestations due to the increase of hormone metabolism rate in the body.
If you also have the above changes, you must be vigilant and go to the hospital as soon as possible to do relevant tests to avoid the deterioration of your condition.
3. Sjogren syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by decreased secretion of sweat glands and salivary glands. With the further aging of the population, more and more people suffer from Sjogren's syndrome.
Sjogren's syndrome is good, and the onset age is 40~50 years old. People with this disease will be thirsty because of reduced saliva secretion, and they will easily wake up in the middle of the night, and protein in the body can't change the composition of saliva.
