I think you have to hydrate before bed, even though it creates other problems. Your challenge then is to work out solutions to those downstream problems that don’t involve dehydrating yourself. For example, I take Lomotil at bedtime to minimize accidents or sleep interruptions. I take it *only* at bedtime to ensure that it’s most effective when I need it most. I include psyllium with dinner to help bulk up whatever is left in my system overnight, to minimize the risk of a problem, by providing a “cork” for the fluid that will follow later. A *small* fatty meal at bedtime helps some folks - for example, a spoonful of peanut butter. Some people take precautions like adult undergarments or a pad under them in bed. These last things are unpleasant steps to have to take, but they are a step up from intentional dehydration.

Good luck!
