I have never been able to sleep well because my mom always yell out at night when she needs to go to the bathroom. Sometimes she wakes me up 3-4 times at night for water, bathroom or food sometimes. Even though I feel that it is my responsibility to take care of her any time, but I am worried that I wouldn't be able to wake up each and every time when she need something.
Could anyone let me know how to solve the problem?

Even if she is it's OK for you to set some boundaries with her. She isn't mentally impaired so she can think this through for herself, she has become used to you sacrificing for her and that can not continue. You don't need to be at her beck and call 24/7. Just as a little child learns self reliance and to sleep through the night so must your mom, because if you burn out where will she be?
How old is your mom? why is she living with you and for how long? does she have dementia or some physical illness that makes her so dependent?
Thanks again for your help.
I don't think it is necessary for you to give up your sleep to cater to her whims, keep doing that long enough and your health will suffer. Water can be left in an insulated mug by her bedside, and giving her snacks in the middle of the night is just reinforcing her backward sleep patterns. The need to use the bathroom is more difficult to ignore, but if she wasn't up all night she may need to go less often. I would focus on ways to get her sleeping through the night rather than worrying about whether or not you can hear her calling, if you become exhausted enough you will sleep through anything.
