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

Wake up at 4:30 every morning and it’s miserable but after about the first 20 minutes of being up I’m full of piss and vinegar so I don’t know what you mean about all of us being fatigued even when we are young.
The Dawn chorus of birds chirping gradually brings awareness to the body and then it is simply a matter of moving with ones day
Low vitamin D, low iron, low vitamin B12, thyroid issues, as well as a number of other conditions can cause fatigue.
It can also be stress during the day, lack of exercise, or simply not getting good quality sleep

If you’re sluggish and tired in the morning you probably aren’t getting the proper amount of sleep. Or perhaps your diet and exercise aren’t the best. Or your body doesn’t generate the proper amount of melatonin for the time you are sleeping and should be supplemented.
If you look at all of those and make appropriate changes as needed you’ll probably find you aren’t sluggish and tired in the morning.

Do you drink coffee? I was always very groggy before I drank coffee in the morning. Now that I don’t drink coffee, I don’t get groggy.
Another factor which may or may not affect you depending on whether you drink coffee is adenosine receptors. Coffee blocks the adenosine (feel sleepy neuro Chem) receptors. Repeated caffeine intake makes your brain compensate by making more receptors. After a while of regular coffee use, when you wake up after sleeping, your body has not had caffeine in some hours and all of those adenosine receptors are free to be populated with adenosine. If you’ve ever quit coffee suddenly, you might have noticed an urge to just sleep constantly for multiple days until your body adjusts. I personally love Caffeine and coffee but have experienced this adenosine fatigue before which has caused me to take regular breaks from coffee and reduce my overall intake which leads to feeling way less groggy in the early wake up phases.
There’s a chemical that your brain produces called Melatonin, and it makes you feel sleepy.
Your brain builds melatonin at night and gradually gets rid of it in the morning when the sunlight hits your eyes.
If you live an area in the world where sunrise is quite late in the morning or if you use black out blinds, your brain will not activate the process to break down the Melatonin cause your blocking the morning light.
That’s one factor, your body clock can be another reason.
That assumes you are actually getting 8 hours of good rest. Many people have undiagnosed sleep apnea and that will certainly account for rough morning starts.
