Disturbed sleep, particularly in the elderly.
The body will not have a restful night's sleep if it is short of water. A full eight hours' sleep will further dehydrate the body because much water is lost in respiration and possible perspiration under heavy bedcovers. If the body receives water and a little salt, sleep rhythm will be reestablished immediately. The following letter is from a man who found my Water Cure program instrumental in relieving many problems, including an interrupted sleep pattern. His story highlights a number of the perceptive symptoms of dehydration I have pointed out already.
My name is D. H. and I was turned on to your Web site by a friend on the Internet. Firstly, I read much of what is on your Web site and have been impressed by the content. In fact, I opened a chat room on paltalk devoted to directing people to your site and discussing the benefits of drinking water with salt. I have been on The Water Cure for about three weeks now and I can definitely say I'm feeling better. My blood pressure is lower and my heart rate is around 58. I seem to sleep better at night and I have better energy level during the day. Also, I have a peaceful feeling now and seem to worry less. All in all it has been a positive experience. I thank you for promoting The Water Cure and I have joined your bandwagon to spread the good word. Thanks again for helping others unselfishly. D. H.
9.
Anger and quick temper.
These more expressive ways of showing dehydration were explained in section 3 under the heading Feeling Irritable.
10.
Unreasonable impatience.
Maintaining your patience to stay on a course or an assignment is an energy-consuming undertaking for the brain. If it doesn't have a sufficient stored reserve of energy, it has to put an end to the undertaking as quickly as possible. This process of quick disengagement is labeled “impatience.” Don't forget, water manufactures hydroelectric energy at a rate that can replenish the used-up amount. Energy from food has to go through many steps of molecular conversion until it is stored in the energy pools in the cells. Even this process needs water for hydrolysis to make the components of food usable as sources of energy.
11.
Very short attention span.
This is another disengagement process for the brain that needs energy to focus on a topic or a learning process. The more hydrated the brain, the more energy it can manufacture to imprint new information in its memory banks. Attention deficit disorder in children is similarly produced by dehydration when children choose sodas as their preferred drinks.
12.
Shortness of breath in an otherwise healthy person without lung disease or infection.
People who want to exercise without feeling short of breath should drink water before they exert themselves in any form of physical activity.
13.
Cravings for manufactured beverages such as coffee, tea, sodas, and alcoholic drinks.
This is the way your brain tells you that you need to be hydrated. These cravings are based on a condition reflex that associates hydration with the intake of these beverages, which actually dehydrate the body further. The process of continuous dehydration is stressful and causes the brain to secrete stress hormones, which include endorphins—the natural opiates of the body that help it get through its environmental crisis. One of the reasons why people continue drinking these beverages is their increasing addiction to the level of their own endorphin production. This is why caffeine and alcohol are addictive substances and cause withdrawal symptoms. The next stage to this kind of addiction could be the use of harder drugs that put a constant drive on endorphin secretion by the body. Thus, if children are to be directed toward a drug-free form of life, it should start with eliminating caffeine from their diets.

Dreaming of oceans, rivers, or other bodies of water
is a form of subconsciously generated association to reach a source of water
