1. When you wake up
If you want to start your day on the right foot, hydrating yourself in the morning can help you do that. According to some experts, this is the best time to drink water because you don’t consume any fluids while you’re sleeping, so naturally you wake up dehydrated. Having water as you start your day can help you get your body back to its baseline.
Some may also find that sipping water right when they wake up makes it easier to increase fluid intake throughout the day and maintain healthy hydration habits. If you’re dehydrated, boosting your daily water intake can help increase your hydration levels, which may be especially beneficial for brain function, energy levels, and mood. So the morning is the best time to drink water!
In fact, multiple studies show that even mild dehydration can negatively affect fatigue, concentration, memory, and anxiety levels.
This being said, rather than a bleary-eyed reach for the coffee, aim to have one to two cups of water first thing in the morning. Then, yes, go get your cup of coffee.
