What are some general tips on hydrating the night before a morning workout? I have been doing a lot more walking and running over the last few months. One thing I want to shift to is to working out first thing after getting out of bed in the morning. Normally I am running/walking during lunch time or after work. Any tips on the best way to hydrate for an early work out? Looking for some simple methods that don't involve me waking up to take a wiz during the night.

Drink a bunch of water with salt when you wake up

I mix a liquid IV, some creatine, and some glutamine in 24oz of water when I wake up. By the time I finish my caffeine on my drive to the gym, I’m good to go. Brain feels more “full” and I’m clicking

Do you have a rough idea on the salt to water ratio or just going by feel?

I'd prefer to have caffeine and drop a deuce before doing anything physical, but I am talking about waking up and jogging within about 15 minutes of each other. Basically wake up, do a little pre-hydrating while stretching and then get going.

I do early morning workouts and always mix creatine and a LMNT pack. Always does the trick for me

Well eventually you'll be waking up to whiz anyway, but I just wake up and drink some water. If I run, probably 12-16oz of water beforehand, and if I'm just working out it's at home and I'll finish a 32oz cup while I do my hour or so workout.

Electrolytes with water upon waking. If you hydrate overnight you will be waking up to pee.

Electrolytes with 12 oz of water before going to bed. Like maybe 90 mins or so.
