Well that or he sweats a lot at night and becomes dehydrated.

[Knight of Fools]

Nope. My nose is both spacious and quite straight, and I'm positive I don't open my mouth while I sleep.

I'm also the least sweaty person I know; the only time you'll see sweat staining my shirt is when I'm exercising in 85F (30 C) degree weather or hotter. And that's only when I really push myself.

I've poked around what could be causing it, and I'm fairly certain I'm not diabetic or anything. Eating more salty foods helped for a bit (Oddly - It's something about retaining salt and water balance), but it's been coming back. The only thing I can really think of is the switch from bottled water to tap water - The tap water is really nice where I live and bottled water is expensive. It still may have chlorine or whatever that my body's not used to.

Maybe I'm a vampire and I'm thirsty for blood. That's the only other option.

My suggestion: Try setting an alarm and getting up to get a glass of water during the night a couple times, see if it helps. Also make sure you are staying adequately hydrated throughout the day.

If it's going in clear but it's not coming out clear, drink moar.

Maybe try gatorade?

Ahh I see. So you keep very poor electrolyte balance.

Found out recently that the head supervisor has been covering up the consequences of pulling the entire manual search department (where they search by title and author instead of ISBN) every day by simply sending out the backlog with the recycle. To put this in perspective, the hand sort department, which makes up around %10 of the workforce, was responsible for about %30 of our sales (closer to %40 of sales value due to the older books having generally higher prices.) Reported this to upper management, and they professed not to believe that that is happening, despite the CLEARLY LABLED boxes staged near the loading dock with the other recycle, where a truck from the recycling company is parked. I honestly am starting to think that this company is trying very hard NOT to make money.

Some people have their nose not perfectly straigth, and therefore they open their mouth when sleeping because they can't breethe with it, hence the feeling of extreme thirst in the morning.

Wow, you may have just singlehandedly explained why I'm always thirsty.  I have a deviated septum that's bad enough that I can't effectively breathe through my nose, even when I'm awake.

[Sergarr]

So there is a little virus, it's ok.

Odious Manly Genuflection With Terrible Fury: Only True Lamentation

...this is glorious

[Guardian G.I.]

Once upon a time an indie game development company from Texas called Minicore Studios decided to make a platform game. It was named "Laika Believes: The Sun at Night".
According to the plotline, the first dog to be launched to space, Laika, somehow returns back to Earth, somehow becoming a canine cyborg along the way. While she was in space, the Evil Soviet Union conquered the world. When Laika returns to Earth, she joins the resistance movement fighting the Soviets. It's not the best plot, in my opinion, but for a platformer, it's fine.
One Russian news site decided to report the development of this game. Soon, some Russian Stalinists found the news article.
They reacted the usual way they react to a book/film/game with Russian/Soviet antagonists: with ☭INFINITE ANTI-AMERICAN RUSSIAN RAGE!!!☭
They showed up at Minicore Studios's Facebook page and decided to inform those "stupid Texan degenerates" of American bastards' aggressive imperialist foreign policies by spamming the page with with this picture.

So, an indie game about a canine cyborg fighting the Soviets created by 8 people to bring them some money from sales on Steam is actually a propaganda piece deliberately created to show Russians in a bad light. Yeah, sure.

Probably NSFW for language. Also for weird.

That is a badass picture. I have no fucking clue how that is anti-American.

A sizeable percentage of the population has a deviated septum without any actual clinical manifestations. So don't be too hasty.

The pile of skeletons beneath Uncle Sam represent the victims of American crimes against humanity.
The image is meant to symbolize that Americans have no right to condemn the actions of Russia/Soviet Union because Americans killed a lot more people that Russia/Soviet Union*.
*The amount of people killed by Americans vary depending on the level of Anti-Americanism of a Russian person describing it.

Russians also spammed Minicore's Facebook page with a quotation from a Soviet propaganda book about racism in the United States.

...Laika was deliberately sent into space, even though it was known that she'll die. Soon after that, a group of women from Mississippi filed a complaint to the United Nations. They demanded to condemn the cruel treatment of dogs in the USSR and stated that if it is necessary to sent living creatures into space, there are enough Negro children in their town.

Except there's no indicator of who the bodies belong to. It could just as easily be taken that he was attacked by an army of poorly-equipped soldiers and he defended himself. And after killing them, he wept that he had to kill.
