when you’re sick with a cold/flu why do you feel better in the morning but progressively feel worse throughout the day, particularly at night?

Am I just weird because I’m the exact opposite. When I had covid recently towards the end I still felt dreadful in the morning but then started to feel better as the day went on.
I know you have the actual answer, so I’ll just add that I’m pretty sure it’s due to the cumulative whining during the day. At least that’s what my wife would say when I have a cold. “If you didn’t constantly whimper about how stuffed your head is, you wouldn’t feel as bad.”
Funny because I have the opposite experience. Mornings while ill are the worst and it gets easier as the day goes on. Especially with sore throat which gets bad while I sleep.
Also, getting over a cold/flu takes a significant amount of energy. When you first wake up, you have more energy, don’t feel so lousy, and get pot of bed to go to the bathroom, maybe get a drink or something to eat, but you run out of energy pretty quickly and get back into bed to rest.
Wait…you do?.-.
I felt like it was opposite for me though, would always feel shitties in the mornings
Although, I might have taken a couple naps during the day…
