Do you drink at least 64 ounces of water during the day? If you don’t want to wake up dehydrated that is the minimum the average-sized person would have to drink during the waking hours, not just before bed, to avoid waking up dehydrated. So what should your first drink of the day truly be? According to the experts a Cornell University it should be an eight-ounce glass of tepid water.
They suggest it be by the bedside and after your wake up routine you drink your first 8 ounces of the day. This was not an easy feat for me. I like a nice cup of tea or coffee in the morning. After about three weeks it had become something that seemed more automatic. It also delayed me drinking anything else for the first hour or so and that was probably a good thing.
I also switch to all decaffeinated drinks. After I learned that for every caffeinated beverage you drink, you need to drink three times that just to break even. So three cups of coffee would require 6 cups of water. Decaffeinated quickly seemed like a better choice.
I have noticed a reduced number of headaches since I changed to this way of hydrating. It seems like a good choice for me.

A timely reminder. Thank you!
You are most welcome. I need reminders all the time!
Important reminder for all of us. I have been told to drink more water. I drink it all day, besides my one cup of coffee, water is all I drink.
Thanks for being such a great example for us! And thanks also for taking the time to comment. It is much appreciated.
i try to do more water now than I used to do. it can be really hard to remember!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it. I live to feel like I have been heard!
i know that feeling well!! water is a huge part of my day now!
I became lazy in observing that routine. Water has the ability to reduce or acts as a headache reliever.
Well now is the time when you get started again with us!
Thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it.
The first thing I do in the morning when I wake up is to drink a glass of warm water.
That is awesome. I am going to work harder to make it happen.
