Dehydrated?

Have travelled as a pax recently on the 787 and the 777, and although the flight on the 787 was nearly 2x as long as the flight on the 777, i arrived feeling significantly less dehydrated/groggy/horrible than i did when i stepped off the 777. I understand the air is from a different source (not bleed air off the engine for the 787?). Is that correct?

A few questions:

1. Do flight crew on the 777 just feel awful after every flight vs. those flying the 787?

2. How does the 787 compare to Airbus widebody aircraft? specifically the 350 or 380?

3. Would this ever become a factor in one's choice of fleet? I certainly don't feel I could commit to a career on the 777 the way I felt after that flight, but the 787 was a totally different story.

Cheers
