Drink a full glass of water after waking up

Have a glass of water before coffee or breakfast.

Why it helps

You go several hours without drinking while you sleep. Many people find a glass of water first thing helps them feel more awake and makes it easier to keep drinking through the day.

How to do it

1. Put a glass or bottle by your bed or kettle the night before.
2. Fill it with about 250 ml (8 oz) of water.
3. Drink it slowly before anything else.

Make it easier

Take a few sips and finish the glass within the next hour.

Make it harder

Add a second glass before you leave the house.
