After a night’s sleep, your body is naturally dehydrated, which can make you feel sluggish, foggy, or strangely irritable. Successful people often start their morning with a glass of water—sometimes with lemon, sometimes plain—before coffee or tea. It’s a small physical reset that helps wake up the brain, support digestion, and improve alertness. It signals, “I take care of my body first,” which then supports better focus, decisions, and resilience for the rest of the day.
