Why You Wake Up Tired: Morning Dehydration in the UAE

Why mornings are worse in the UAE

Waking up tired, with brain fog, or dizziness even after 7–8 hours of sleep is often a sign of silent dehydration . In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, low humidity, heat waves in the Gulf, and nighttime air conditioning draw moisture from your body while you sleep.

Water alone isn't always enough. You also need electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to help your body retain fluids and maintain nerve and muscle function.

Common signs of morning dehydration

• Headache or feeling of “heavy head”
• Muscle weakness or cramps
• Dry mouth/throat and increased thirst
• Brain fog and decreased concentration
