less "best practice" and more "signs to watch for," but I thought I'd list a few signs and symptoms to watch for as well, since sometimes it's hard to tell if there's something wrong until it's bad
Sleep Deprivation:
Irritability
Tiredness
Socially Inept (more so than normal
)
Reduced ability to handle stress
Memory loss
Bad concentration
Strange appetite changes (typically either being hungry all the time or a loss of appetite)
Dehydration (2% of water lost):
Thirst
Loss of Appetite
Dry Skin
Skin Flushing
Dark Colored Urine
Dry Mouth
fatigue or Weakness
Chills
Head Rushes
5% lost:
Increased heart rate
Increased respiration
Decreased sweating
Decreased urination
Increased body temperature
Extreme fatigue
Muscle cramps
Headaches
Nausea
Tingling of the limbs
if you hit the 10% mark, you'll probably know there's something seriously wrong anyway given most of the symptoms (spasms, vomiting, racing pulse, seizures, etc), and your best course of action at that point will most likely be to get immediate medical attention
