Question
If I have a bottle of water by my bed, do I have to say the blessing every time that I take a sip, or is one time enough.
Answer
Thanks for your question,
One time is enough. However if you take more than a half an hour break between sips then better to make a Bore nefashot on the last drink and then say shehakol again on the next drink. (See peninei halacha brachot chapter 10, halacha 13)
All the best!
