Always thought this was weird. My morning brain fog and low energy levels go away around 3 PM. Funny thing is that’s when people start getting tired.

It’s now almost 5 o’clock and I mentally feel pretty good.

My conventional medicine cortisol level test (Blood draw and saliva ) are just under the maximum limit at 9 AM, but I am foggy. What makes that even more strange is that is only 1.5 hours after I take my thyroid medicine. So I should feel Energized In the morning, but I don’t.

Astroman,

I swear, you and I share so many of the same traits. My long-lost northern brother, LOL!!!

Been this way pretty much whole life. Mornings are typically my worst, slowest part of the day. Late afternoon, early evening is when I am most productive and alert. When I was working, I got most of my actual work done after 3pm.

It's just good to see you feel better at any part of the day. I'm sure there are many, many days that wasn't the case.

Yep, it’s 5 o’clock and I’m feeling pretty alert right now. (My gut on the other hand is once again a reoccurring project).

I’m also enjoying the air-conditioning on one of the hotter days of the year and I have not bothered to go outside yet today. Waiting for sundown, then I’ll slip out into the darkness!

I have never been a morning person.
As a child I remember when we went on a trip and had to start out in the morning - my mom would let me sleep as long as possible - and wake me up about 15 minutes before we were leaving.
And I was always grumpy in the a.m.
I also couldn’t eat breakfast when I got up - I felt nauseous.
Looking back I now think I had Lyme CO’s then.
