Here are six reasons why you might reconsider keeping a glass of water near your bed:
Bacteria Growth: Leaving a glass of water exposed to the air can allow dust, bacteria, and even insects to settle in it. Over time, this can make the water unsafe to drink.
Contamination: Water can absorb odors from the environment around it, including perfumes, cleaning products, or any other chemicals in your room. If you accidentally knock it over, this could cause spills that lead to contamination of other items on your nightstand.
Sleep Disruption: Having a glass of water near you might encourage frequent trips to the bathroom during the night, disrupting your sleep. This could be especially bothersome if you drink a lot of water before bed.
