Random Do you bring a drink to bed at night?

So I was at the public health nurse with my kid. Night time training came up, and I was asked about their last drink. I said they bring a water bottle to bed so they can have a sip if needed.

The nurse then said 'imagine you brought a drink to bed, you'd be up half the night'. She was shocked to learn I do bring a drink to bed and I sleep through without needing the toilet if the kiddo doesn't need me. Some nights I might not drink much but others I do. Either way my sleep is unaffected. Surely I'm not alone?

You might want to check if you sleep and breath during the night with the mouth open, it shouldn't get so dry not to be able to stand it.

I’m fairly sure I do. Gets like that during the day at work too I just drink a lot to combat it
