Answers: Just basic reasons why a person needs water upon waking up. Why would a human be thirsty when they wake up?

By the time a normal person(under normal circumstances) goes to sleep the body won't have quite done processing food and liquid. The process completes overnight, the remainders drain to the bladder and kidneys and hence the thirst and need to go.
It's healthy to drink about half a litre early on in the day, close to when you wake up.

Thirst is the craving for liquids, resulting in the basic instinct of humans or animals to drink. It is an essential mechanism involved in fluid balance. It arises from a lack of fluids and/or an increase in the concentration of certain osmolites such as salt. If the water volume of the body falls below a certain threshold, or the osmolite concentration becomes too high, the brain signals thirst
