A glass of water by my bed

Every night before I go to bed I put a glass of water on my nightstand. I actually don't know that I would call it a nightstand, because I've never called it a nightstand before. I think I'd call it a tiny chest of drawers that's right next to my side of the bed. 

Anyways, I almost never drink the water. But I need it. If I don't have a glass of water by my bed, my mouth gets all dry and I can't stop thinking about drinking water.

Sometimes people say that it's in my head and that I'm not really thirsty. Well, that might be true. But when I don't have a glass of water by my bed, I don't care if I'm real thirsty or fake thirsty, I just want water.

So, I never sleep without a glass of water by my bed. We always want the things we can't have. I don't know if that's true, and it's only partially applicable to this- I just wanted to insert a deeper thought in at the end. But it is kind of true when it comes to water by my bed. If I can't have it, I want it. 

In all seriousness, we are so lucky to have access to clean water. I can write this sort of funny thing about how much I need water by my bed, but I can really have water any time I want. I've never really been real thirsty. Lots of people are real thirsty. It's a luxury that I can have a glass of water by my bed.
