Why we are so sluggish and tired in the morning despite having just rested our bodies?

Question

Even with the full 8 waking up and moving around at the start of the day is fatiguing. Even when we are young.

Answer 1

I could be way off here : but I think some of us are doing the right things in the morning in the wrong order. I try stick with :
1. Make the bed (completing a task so soon sets the tone for the day, encourages productivity)
2. Be in sunlight, open the curtains
3. Have a glass of water, ESPECIALLY before coffee. We lose two glasses of water while asleep.
4. Don’t look at your phone for 30 minutes

Edited to add : I broke rule 4 on Sunday, woke up to one of my coworkers being dead. Don’t break this rule if you want to protect your emotions.
