Water and it's consequences

Problem:
In the morning I am usually in a rush and don't think about it.
At noon I'm craving it and if I am lucky can grab some.
In the evening I will drink a glass or two.
Around 9 or 10pm I just can't take it anymore and will drink glass after glass.
If I have to wait up for a child to come home I will refill and drink past midnight

Now the consequences:
I usually have at least one dream a night where I am either looking for a bathroom or can't relax enough to "go". I will wake up from this dream and literally have to run for the bathroom. Last week I even dreamed that my husband was encouraging me and saying relax it's okay you can pee. I really almost didn't make it to the bathroom when I woke up from that one.

The other consequence is that I get up at least 4 times each night. Sometimes I fall right back to sleep and others I lay awake and get frustrated.

Solution:
I need to start my day drinking so that I feel hydrated all day long and am not trying to make up for it the last two hours of the night when I am uncontrollably thirsty. This is easy to say and hard to do. I am not thirsty in the morning. I don't feel like drinking water. I actually will think "I need to drink" and then get distracted.
