IMPORTANT: Never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

Medical investigators in China, Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from ‘acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis’ found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.

However, it wasn’t the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.

The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

Note: We don’t really know about nightmares causing sudden death while asleep linking it to dehydration at nighttime, as it is not backed with actual medical links to support the claim. We encourage you to investigate the matter yourself should you find this message interesting enough. Then again, we already know the importance of drinking plenty of water regardless of this warning. Can’t hurt to be reminded, can it?
