No need to drink water at night

According to a new investigation, it would now appear that the body’s internal clock is directly responsible for this ability that we have. It has direct control over a water-storing hormone that regulates our need to intake or dispose of liquids. The direct mechanism that allows for this to happen was evidenced by neurophysiologists Eric Trudel and Charles Bourque, in a scientific paper they published in the latest issue of the respected scientific journal Nature Neuroscience. The two, who are based at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center, in Montreal, Canada, propose that the hormone vasopressin is directly responsible for storing water during the night,

They argue that the circadian rhythm, or the body’s internal clock, allows for certain types of water-sensing cells in the body to activate other cells that produce vasopressin, when an individual is sleeping. They argue that the hormone essentially instructs the body to store water and not parade it around, as it does while the person is awake, and able to find water for drinking.
