Drinking two large, full glasses of water will help make up for this fluid deficit you had while sleeping.

3. Listen to stimulating podcasts
Even if you only spend a short time getting to work, this is a good time to listen to stimulating podcasts.
This can bring intellectual benefits to your brain, making you smarter.
4. Drink green tea while working
Some drinks contain caffeine and this substance can make some people much more anxious. To become smarter, you can opt for green tea which contains an amino acid that helps increase alpha brain waves, causing deep relaxation.
This means, in practice, that coffee induces anxiety and good quality green tea causes relaxation without inducing drowsiness. The substance l-theanine present in green tea causes relaxation and increases heart health.
