Vent: I laughed off hydration breaks until a dizzy spell scared me straight

Thought guzzling coffee all shift was fine for focus. Almost missing a signal because my head was spinning made me switch to water and regular sips.

Was it just coffee you were having all day, or did you have any water with it? Coffee can actually make you lose more water, so it's a bad swap for staying hydrated. I made that same mistake when I used to rely on energy drinks and felt awful by noon. Now I keep a big water bottle on my desk and try to finish it before lunch. Do you have a bottle or cup you use to track your sips?

My 32-ounce Nalgene is currently holding cold brew, so I'm failing at hydration today. It's basically a coffee tank with a hydration sticker on it.

Isn't it funny how caffeine hits different after 30? My body just rejects energy drinks now, straight to the shakes.

Nice try calling that coffee tank hydration, @janah83.
