Humans are bad at recognizing thirst. By the time you feel thirsty, you’re already dehydrated.
It’s a design flaw. Like putting the gas gauge in the trunk.
So if you have a headache, just assume you’re thirsty. Bet on it. You’ll be right more often than you think.
The Takeaway (No Homework)
Drink water. Not as a cure-all, but as a cheap, easy experiment.
Keep a bottle on your desk. Sip it like a fancy sommelier. Your brain will thank you (by not shrinking).
And next time someone says, “Drink water,” don’t roll your eyes. They’re right. Annoyingly, charmingly right.
Now go get a glass. Your head might be waiting.
