Respiration during sleep dehydrates the body, as does the generation of urine.
Upon waking, many of us reach for caffeine, a diuretic.
Try drinking a half-liter of warm salty broth to hydrate, replenish electrolytes.

Serious question: I know little about the evolutionary development of the chicken.
Any idea whether human breeding has changed them over time as much as wolf -> dog?

Bit of a multidimensional answer to that.
The base chicken has barely had any time to diverge from the red junglefowl, and so barely has. Same species and all. People using it as food is a recent practice - many millennia more recent than domestication of wolves.
That said...

... the mutant freaks they raise in factory farms, roided up and kept in degenerative conditions - they're a pretty clear divergence, on multiple levels.
But most of them can be returned to health, and they're not different in evolutionary terms, no.

Domesticated chickens tend to grow larger, but I think that's a combination of feeding practices and relatively sedentary lifestyles.
There may also have been some interbreeding with grey junglefowl, but it is also a quite small bird.
Put differently, one of these is domesticated and the other is wild.
Without the farmhouse, would you be able to tell which is which?
