98% of the time, when I feel like that, I'm either dehydrated or courting a migraine.

Seconded.

I've followed a large serving of orange juice at breakfast with taking frequent gulps of Gatorade since, because of the dehydrated feling.

Given how [expletive]ing often I've experienced various migraine symptoms lately (with and without the telltale skull-crushing pain), incipient migraine wouldn't be surprising ...

... but would still be equally frustrating.

How much liquid do you currently drink? I have a doctor-set goal of two or three liters of water a day. Mind you, that's artificially high for me because of my, er, condition ;-) but it's amazing how much better I feel.

I haven't been keeping track, but I do make sure to keep liquids handy (including Gatorade next to the bed) so I can drink something whenever I feel the least bit thirsty. Some days it's more than two liters for sure, other days I'm not certain (because I'm taking a little from the bedside stash, a little from a big bottle of (non-caffeinated) soda on the kitchen table, a little from stuff in the fridge, etc.) When I wake up in the middle of the night, I usually take a drink.

Lately I've also been trying to humidify the house a bit. I've finally gotten it so that petting Perrine doesn't produce crackling sounds. (Surprisingly, she doesn't seem to care much, even when a spark happens at an ear-tip.)
