I see memes and stuff about people doing this and I genuinely don’t understand the reason behind it

I typically wake up dehydrated AF. So I wake up, drink the glass of water I set out next to me the night before, and wait to not feel like I have a whole ecosystem growing in my mouth. It's 5-10 min for me, then it's up, toilet, restart work laptop, make coffee, greet my Person, and finally login to work laptop for the work day. 8 second commute to my work desk is choice.

Seems like you need to drink more water during the day :)

For me it's that when I drink 3L of water over the course of 16h, the dehydration after 8 hours of not drinking is such a stark difference that it's uncomfortable.
