This post makes a significant amount of unsubstantiated claims. While I'll concede that some things are common knowledge, things like drinking a cup of coffee before sleep (with Daniel Pink cited as a source, who is a motivational writer not a scientist) and not making important decisions in the afternoon really need credible sources to be even remotely believable.

Any time I see "studies cite" I immediately associate the article with those tabloid pieces about milk being the worst thing you could possibly ingest, only to say the exact opposite in a week or two.

> Hydrating the body first thing in the morning (..) improves immunity by flushing out toxins Absolute bullshit.

Still probably a good thing to do. This belief probably came from Japanese Water Therapy.

It doesn't make that claim any less bullshit though. I mean, I could tell people to stop smoking, because it makes you phlegmatic. The end result could still be a good thing, but the claim itself is absolute horsecrap.
