You don’t need to set a timer every 10 minutes. That’s way too much pressure. Instead, pair it with something you already do.
Drink a glass of water right after you wake up. Your brain is foggy and your mouth is dry—it’s the perfect time for a reset.
Another trick: keep a reusable bottle on your desk while you study. Every time you look at your phone, take a sip. You’ll be surprised how fast it adds up.
How Much Water Should You Drink Per Day?
The “Two-Hour Rule”
Try this: aim to finish one full water bottle (about 16–20 ounces) every two hours during your awake time. If you’re up for 12 hours, that’s six bottles. Easy math.
By dinnertime, you’ll have hit your target without even counting cups. Your skin will look clearer, your energy will feel more steady, and you won’t get that afternoon headache.
And yes, you’ll probably have to pee more. But that’s a good sign. It means your body is actually using the water.
