Excess thirst is a symptom of diabetes, you might want to have a checkup.

What might be happeneing is you could possibly have Insulin resistance, which is a pre "curser" to diabetes. I have insulin resistance, and you get very very thirsty, which is what happened to me. Go to the doctor and get your blood checked for a thyroid, and for insulin resistance. Another sign of insluin resistance is dark joints. As in, your knuckles look a little bit darker, and there is probably goign to be a dark ring that looks like dirt around your neck. Even if thats not there, you could still have it, just not as serious. Hope i helped you!

Could be diabetes. Have you been losing weight lately? Do you eat a lot of sweets, or carbohydrates. Are you thirstier in the morning or evening? It could be a reaction to medication you are on. You might want to call your doctor.

You may want to limit your salt intake, if you have a lot of salt in your diet. Also, you may not be getting toxins out of your body in the usual way and that can sometimes trigger thirst. You need to be doing more excercise.

Thirst is a symptom of diabetes but so is frequent peeing. I recommend that you see your doctor just to put your mind at ease.

Maybe you should be checked for Diabetes. This is a common symptom.
Also, do you take any diet pills?
In any case, see a doctor about it. It could be a serious health issue.

There are so many possible reasons. you could have diabetes (although you would pee a lot too...), maybe due to medications, spicy food, hyperparathyroidism, lots of things.
Definitely go see a doctor

Try plugging your ears when you sleep and stay away from sugars. You should invest in some green tea you could drink it but to keep hydrated soak your feet in lukewarm green tea. Good Luck I wonder if your skin is dry and scaly.
