First, let’s talk about the caffeine relationship. If you’re a daily coffee lover, your body gets used to that morning jolt.
Sleep through your usual brew time, and you’re basically experiencing a mini-withdrawal by morning. Your blood vessels are throwing a tiny tantrum.

Dehydration: The Silent Scream

Your brain sits in a fluid cushion, and when that fluid gets low, the cushion thins out. Imagine your brain lightly knocking against your skull every time you move.
That’s a dehydration headache. It’s your body’s way of saying, “Hey, I’m thirsty… and also a little annoyed.”
