It's cause you're a rebel like me
doc: get this done before you pick up AM meds, and only water after midnight
me: that'll be easy. I'm always in bed by then and typically don't have breakfast until after meds anyways
*cue to me waking up at 2am that day dying for a bagel with butter and cinnamon*
Hydrate as much as you can before. You can also tense your muscles a bunch in whatever ways you can when it gets to the point you typically faint to raise your blood pressure.
Hope it goes okay!
