Why am i always extremely thirsty during the night even though i drink plenty of fluids during the day?

Depends: It could be that you eat a salty dinner and by the night, your brain signals to drink water to keep your hydrated and balance out your sodium (salt) levels. This could also be the first signs of development of Insulin insensitivity, glucose intolerance or diabetes. I would see your pcp to check some blood tests.
