Anyone have any trouble waking up? Literally since I can remember I struggle to get out of first gear. Im pretty sure it’s a dopamine issue. It takes me at least an hour or two to get into second gear. interested if any other people have similar issues? I would love to wake up and have the ability to speak lol
does anyone have any tips or tricks to get your brain going?
Yes, me. Once my eyes have opened, I find it can take the rest of my body a good hour to realise I'm awake, and maybe up to another hour or more for my brain to catch up and start functioning. If I'm having a particularly bad day, it can often be a case of 'the lights are on, but nobody's home'. As though my brain has gone AWOL.
I think a lot of it is now age-related for me, as it has become more of an issue since becoming middle-aged. My 'go-to' is to drink at least one cup of coffee, cross my fingers, and hope it will be enough to wake up my brain.
Exactly this
