Dehydration is a problem for me as well.  I have tried some powders like “liquid IV” and “Drip Drip”.  It helped me.

Is it actually dehydration.

Are you associating symptoms fatigue with dehydration.

The easiest method of monitoring hydration levels is by the colour of the urine and how often you pee during the day.

Ideally urine should be a pale gold/straw like colour and you should be pee’ing, no less than 3 x per day.

I find symptoms that I’ve always associated with dehydration, such as fatigue/tiredness, headaches and lack of enthusiasm, are quite possibly, either a salt or sodium deficiency; I think, more sodium; as I eat lots of potassium containing foods.

Try increasing your salt intake. especially if suffering from a headache; see if doing so makes any difference.
