Minor degree of hypohydration adversely influences cognition (2016)

  First read hyperhydration and thought that to be completely plausible as bladder pressure is quite distracting.

  I’ve never been a huge water drinker, but this year I’ve been consciously having a full glass of water at least 2-3 times during the workday. It has been fascinating how much it has affected my mood and performance, particularly in the afternoon.

    > it has affected my mood and performance, particularly in the afternoon. I second this. I started drinking water in the afternoon instead of coffee and the difference was significant. Turns out at least part of my tiredness in the afternoon was due to just being a bit dehydrated, likely from dry office air.
