I wake up any time between 4.00 am and 7.00 am, depending on what kind of night I’ve had. The one thing that remains consistent on a daily basis, is that night after night, since my late thirties I’ve woken up feeling unrefreshed. Instead of jumping out of bed ready to seize each new day, I wake up feeling defeated – my head is sore, my lower back hurts, I feel groggy and lethargic.
It is not uncommon that I have trouble walking in a straight line.
Most days I wake up feeling as if I’ve been hit by a truck. Or I feel like someone had pulled all my limbs apart and reassembled then the wrong-way round.
Mornings are the worst.
It takes me hours to get it together. The first thing I do is wash my face and pull my hair into a ponytail. Then I change into my tracksuit and shuffle into the kitchen to make coffee. It’s not until I’ve drank my second cup of coffee that I’m able to plan my day’s work and get ready to face the world.
