Give Your Body The Fluids It Needs
Help your body perform its functions properly. Drink a glass of water before going to bed, then fill it up again and place it on your nightstand. That way, when you wake up, water will be ready to enter your body. Refill it and keep it next to you during the day, remembering to keep drinking. Make it a habit.

During New Year's Eve, my family and I played a fun board game called "Herd Mentality.” In each turn, a question is asked, and you have to write the answer that you think most of the players will write, thinking like the herd. One of the questions was: “What do you do first thing in the morning?” The most common answer was “go to the bathroom.”
After that game and reflecting on this specific question, I realized that as soon as I wake up, I drink a glass of room temperature water. It's something I started doing after reading this advice in the book ‘Hatha Yoga: The Yogi Philosophy of Physical Well-Being.’ So, according to the Yogis, going to the bathroom should be second in line, only after drinking water.
