I've heard many wise teachers advise drinking a glass or two of clean water in the morning, so you're on the right track.

On the subject of peeing, I've come to the conclusion that it's unhealthy to hold it in more than on the rare occasion, and I aim to pee within a few seconds of having the urge.

Actually, I believe it should be a human right to pee within 30 seconds of wanting to, and I'll do it, too.

How do you know whether those teachers were actually wise or just repeating bullshit that sounded good?

Because I witnessed their abilities.

Which abilities were those, and how do you know whether their abilities were caused by or in spite of their hydration habits?

If that is a bulletproof way to handle water intake, why would you worry about "forgetting"?

Well if I'm engrossed in work or in flow I probably won't notice that I am thirsty or will ignore it for a while. For me it just seems like a good idea to take in some water in the morning to get my body going.

I didn't claim anything to be bulletproof, just saying that your body tells you when it needs water and drinking in excess of that is probably unnecessary

Yes, and it's important to listen to it, and hear it. Some body signals are subtle, and you won't hear them unless you pay attention.

Headaches, migraines, and other unignorable signals are the body screaming for help after many other more subtle signals have been ignored.
