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

Also, the vast majority of the developed world don’t wake naturally, at least during the working week. Having an alarm clock scream at you at 6 in the morning is not pleasant.

If you slept till you naturally woke up, you’d find yourself much less fatigued (provided you don’t have a sleep disorder).
