I heard about this along time ago. I stopped doing it, but I really need to get back in the habit of doing it again.

I started doing this to help me get my 8 glasses in a day - it's so much easier to do when you knock off a glass or two first thing in the morning! Plus, it seems like I crave the water more if I start drinking it first thing.

I totally agree. I take a drink bottle to bed every night and when I wake I always have some.

I do this too. (I actually think it helps with regularity too.)
