Make general schedule for drinking of water - commencing from early morning when the blood is most viscous till goin to bed for sleep. to prepare for the significant loss of water during sleeping. It is better to drink a glass of water every hour and that too slowly in small sips.  Drink all the day to ensure that you are never thirsty at any time of the day because body organs need constant supply of water for proper functioning.
