    I can run a full 5k in the afternoon, morning is impossible, I’ve tried it. It’s like my body needs to get rid of the sleep juice in my body. These people must be running a half mile or something.

      “sleep juice” feels startlingly accurate for how I feel in the morning. When I was young people would say you need to “de-dormir” - de-sleepify yourself.

      For me that was hunching over a bowl of porridge with a blanket wrapped around me.

      I like running, but doing that in the morning - foof

        I guess it’s called sleep inertia and can be caused by decreased blood flow to the brain. This tracks with my issues as I am dissy when I first wake up. I have to set an alarm 15 minutes before I have to get up so I can “recombobulate.”
