I feel very thirsty. I work night shifts. I drink over 3 liters of water every day. Infact my mouth dries up in 10 minutes. Een during the day when I must be sleeping I wake up very often to drink water to avoid dehydration. What must I do?

Only 35 ml of water per kg body weight is required by the body but climatic condition and your nature of work plays important role in consumption of water. Check your blood sugar levels.

Do nothing but drink as often as your thirst compels you to. You're living in a metro city which has lots of environmental issues that must be making your system dry up faster than usual and hence the perpetual thirst. Don't worry, the fact that you're waking up from sleep to get a glass of water screams at you that you're not getting enough water into your system. So, go ahead. Drink some more.
