How to sleep with diarrhoea?
My stomach is upset and I have constant motions, so sleeping is becoming very difficult. I feel weak and need rest, but this diarrhoea is not letting me get any sleep. What can I do?

I had a bad stomach bug last month and what saved me was sleeping on my left side, as it really helps calm the gut. I also kept a bottle of electral water right next to my pillow because waking up with a dry mouth is the worst. Hope you feel better soon!
Please monitor your hydration levels closely. I once ignored severe diarrhea, got severely dehydrated at night, and fainted in the bathroom. If you feel dizzy, have extreme weakness, or can't keep fluids down, please go to a hospital immediately.
Does anyone else get very anxious that they won't make it to the washroom in time if they fall asleep? It's keeping me awake all night. I am sleeping on my side with a small light on in the room, is there any way to calm this down?
If you have a big work day tomorrow, don't struggle all night. Take ORS, sleep on your left side to settle your stomach, and set a low volume alarm just in case. If you have fever or severe cramps, skip work and see a doctor first thing in the morning.

Just got over a nasty bout of loose motions yesterday. I slept on my left side with my knees curled up towards my chest, which was the only comfortable position. Also, avoid drinking a huge amount of water at once before sleeping; just take small sips of ORS.
