Drink 250 ml salt water on waking to boost clarity
Why it matters
During sleep, we lose fluids and some electrolytes through breathing and sweating. A morning glass of water with a pinch of salt helps restore the body’s water and mineral balance faster, improve nerve signal conduction, and prevent dizziness or weakness upon waking. This is especially important for those who exercise regularly or practice intermittent fasting
How to do it
- Mix 250 ml of water with a pinch of sea salt
- Drink it right after waking up
- Use room-temp water if your stomach is sensitive
Science snap
Even mild dehydration can reduce cognitive function and cause fatigue. Morning hydration helps you feel more alert
Contra-Note
For high blood pressure, it’s better to use magnesium/potassium instead of salt. This is not medical advice. If you have any health conditions or are undergoing treatment, consult your doctor

Mechanism & Key fact
During sleep, the body loses fluids through breathing, sweating, and evaporation, leading to mild dehydration by morning. Studies show that we can lose up to 500ml of water overnight. Sodium and chloride, the key minerals in salt, help retain water inside cells and maintain proper fluid balance. Drinking a small glass of salt water upon waking can quickly restore electrolyte levels and support blood pressure, preventing feelings of fatigue, dizziness, or brain fog. This simple practice helps the body rehydrate faster and sets the stage for stable energy and mental clarity throughout the day
