Rehydrate with water and a pinch of salt on waking

Before the small shift

The moment

Sleep dehydrates you, so the first hour feels foggy even when you slept enough hours.

A way in

Try this

  1. On waking, drink a solid glass or two of water (roughly 500–750 ml) before coffee.
  2. Add a small pinch of sea salt or an electrolyte mix if that sits well with you.
  3. Skip aggressive dosing if you have blood-pressure, kidney, or salt-restricted medical guidance.

If you try it

What might shift

Fluid and electrolytes come back online so morning signals fire more cleanly.
