Whether you’re a student preparing for exams, or a corporate ninja grinding 9-to-5 on a desk, one thing is silently affecting your performance, focus & energy…
It’s not just your screen time or poor posture—It’s DEHYDRATION!
Why Hydration = Brain Activation

Water makes up over 75% of your brain, and even a 1-2% drop in hydration can cause:
1. Brain fog
2. Lack of concentration
3. Low mood
4. Fatigue

We should know about it i.e. Hydration helps in neurotransmitter function, nutrient delivery to the brain, and clearing out toxins – keeping you sharp, creative & calm.
Desk Jobs & Dehydration: A Lethargy Loop
Sitting for 7–8 hours in AC rooms with zero water intake?
No wonder many employees feel:
1. Tired over post-lunch
2. Headaches by 4 PM or more
3. Craving sugar/coffee constantly for better productivity
But You might not need caffeine… just WATER.

Hydration improves the following function in you:
1. Memory & retention
2. Focus during study sessions
3. Mood regulation during exams

Simple Hydration Tips for Busy Bees
1. Follow the 40:40 rule – Sip water every 40 minutes for 40 seconds.
2. Use a marked bottle – Track your intake hourly.
3. Hydration alarms – Set 3 reminders on your phone daily.
4. Avoid sugary drinks – They dehydrate more than hydrate.
Pair hydration with habit – Drink water before meetings, meals, or phone calls.
