How Much Water Should I Drink Before, During, and After a Workout?

Staying hydrated is essential for optimal performance during morning workouts. It’s recommended to drink at least 500ml of water the night before and another 250ml to 500ml upon waking. During your workout, aim for 200ml every 20 minutes, and replenish with 500ml to 1L post-exercise.

Why You Might Wake Up Dehydrated

Waking up dehydrated can be attributed to several factors:

• Nighttime Fluid Loss: You lose fluids through sweat and breathing while you sleep.
• Alcohol Consumption: Drinking alcohol before bed can lead to dehydration.
• High Sodium Intake: Consuming salty foods can cause your body to retain water, leading to dehydration.

Combatting Morning Dehydration

To prevent waking up dehydrated, consider these tips:

• Hydrate Before Bed: Drink a glass of water before sleeping.
• Limit Alcohol: Reduce alcohol intake, especially before workouts.
• Monitor Sodium Intake: Be mindful of your salt consumption in the evening.

Functional beverages can enhance your hydration strategy. They often contain electrolytes and other beneficial compounds that help replenish lost fluids and minerals. Consider incorporating options like electrolyte drinks or herbal teas into your routine.
