I used to chug a 32 oz water bottle right before bed to avoid waking up thirsty, but after three weeks of groggy mornings and a 2 PM crash last Tuesday, I found out downing that much water at once can flush electrolytes and drop blood pressure enough to make you sleepy, so is the fix sipping slowly instead of the old "big gulp" advice, or does anyone else have a counter-story where chugging worked fine for them?
I read the back of my mouthwash last Tuesday while waiting for coffee to brew. It said to stop use if you notice changes in taste, which I figured was about the product tasting bad. Turns out chlorhexidine can kill your taste buds for hours, and I found out during a work lunch when my sandwich tasted like cardboard. The dentist never mentioned this when he prescribed it after a deep cleaning back in January. I had 3 cups of coffee trying to taste something, then gave up and ate plain crackers just to confirm I still had a tongue. Anyone else get stuck with a prescription rinse that ruined their meals for weeks?
