Is dehydration a relatively painless method?

Reading about it, it seems to take a long time before you actually die and it would require enough willpower to go through the entire process.
I've gone multiple times without food for 3 days per time and it wasn't that bad, but I wasn't particularly dehydrated, even if I didn't drink a lot of water.
Has anyone else attempted this before?

Terminal dehydration: A gentle way to die?
I watched as my father suffered through a difficult and painful death by terminal dehydration in hospice after a stroke left him unable to communicate or move and doctors determined that he would not recover, despite high doses of pain medication.

Other Options to Hasten Your Death
For states where physician-assisted death is not yet legal, patients still have options. Death from dehydration or voluntarily stopping eating; refusing treatments; and palliative sedation are all tools patients have.
