023 Form A Simple, Healthy Water-drinking Habit

A brother was a college soccer captain. With a desire to optimize his performance he prioritized hydration. While roommates I observed him drink water before he went to sleep and when he awoke.

I tried it.

That was over 15 years ago.

I still do it.

While at a Toastmasters meeting about the same time period, I listened to a woman’s speech entitled, “How Good Can I Feel?!” She shared the benefits of drinking a glass of water before bed and a glass of water when arising.

Of course these aren’t the only times you should drink water; you should drink water throughout the day and yet I’ve found this daily practice to the beginning and end of the day are effective reminders.

Implementation tip:

Keep a cup or water bottle by the bathroom sink. That way it reminds and enables you to drink before bed and when waking up.
