Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The first thing I do awake is grab my phone, and by the time I’m out of bed the inbox and the headlines have already set my mood for me
• I wake up foggy and heavy and it takes me half the morning to feel switched on
• However I wake up is how my whole day goes
• I sit down to start work and my head is still foggy and slow for the first hour
• The alarm goes off and within seconds I’ve negotiated myself into "just five more minutes," which turns into an hour
