I am just wondering about the relation here. For many years now I have struggled with bloating, which is really more of a struggle with junk food, and I always noticed that the peak moments of losing water weight is in the weekend. I may have a tough work week and the diet is less than perfect, but I also may have a sleepless night or two. Then friday comes and I sleep for like 11-12 hours into saturday morning to recharge and that's when I notice a lack of love handles, decrease in belly size and my weight even goes down. Similar to sunday morning. Just wondering if others experience a similar thing.
For whatever reason, drinking water, urinating, sweating while you sleep, you may be flushing the sodium out and relieving the bloat.
And every time you eat, drink, or excrete something, your weight is going to fluctuate. Weighing yourself multiple times a day can make you crazy. Since you know that it's the junk food that creates bloating and water retention, the old dad joke "if it hurts when you do that, don't do that" applies.

Do you the junk on the weekends, or just during the week?
Well saturday is actually my cheat day so I kind of pig out then. The work week it's just a chocolate bar one night, some cookies the next etc. Nothing too crazy but enough to cause bloating. Probably doesn't help that I eat in the evening hours too.
I tend to sleep 6 to 7 hours, more would be even better for me. If I sleep 10+ hours though, that's when I wake up having lost a lot of water weight. Especially during hot summer periods.

"Having eight or more hours with nothing going into the GI tract allows for the intra-bowel contents to be whittled down a bit and for bloating to subside.”
