How much fluid is enough when thirst cues are blunted?

Asked 30 Sept 2025Modified 10 months agoViewed 9.8k times

The trend is what I care about; individual weeks are obviously noise.

I would like to understand the steps well enough to explain them to someone else.

I have access to a refrigerator with a logger and a freezer without one, which may be relevant.

So: what is the actual procedure, and which steps matter as opposed to being ritual?
