How to feel awake and energetic in the am?

[Tartanbedspread]

I go to bed at 11.30pm and wake up about 8am. I fall asleep fine and sleep well through the night if I wake up to pee I fall back to sleep quickly.

However in the mornings I feel like death, I really struggle to come round until I have been awake for a few hours. I just feel sleepy, sluggish and headachy until at least lunch time. Then as the afternoon goes on I feel better and more focused and feel most alert after about 4pm until 9pm. This is when I really want to focus on my work but this is the time I need to deal with family life. When it gets to bedtime I don’t ever feel tired but I can fall asleep.

I wish I could feel alert and focused Earlier in the day but always the hours after waking up are painful for me. I don’t drink or smoke, I’m healthy, vegetarian but I pretty much feel hungover every morning!

Try going to bed and waking up earlier? Leave the house first thing for fresh air? Drink a tonne of water right away on waking to rehydrate after the night? Inject coffee straight into your veins?

I think it must be nature.
Iv’e never woken in the morning feeling wide awake and refreshed.
Even on holiday I need an hour to be semi awake.
