Hrm...
I *think* you're getting too much sleep!
I sleep 4-5 hours. I can get by on 2 hours, but I'm here to tell you that there's a world of difference between 2 hours sleep and 4! So, 4-5 hours is perfect for me. If I sleep for 7.5-8 hours, I feel like Death is knocking on the door!
I start my day with mega doses of vitamins & minerals, taken with a large glass of Concord grape juice, and finish off with a large cup of coffee with a scoop of Knox NutraJoint. That's it - that's breakfast and lunch! When I get hungry, several hours later, I usually eat onion sandwiches drenched in Tabasco pepper sauce, popcorn, or Mexican Food covered with table salsa. I NEVER eat meat - fish, chicken, pork, beef - NOTHING! And, NO soy or soy-based products either...
I'll stop there. I got a stomach like barbed wire! I'm a vegetarian and the stuff I eat can strip the paint off cars. I don't recommend my diet, unless you wanna be 'wired' 24/7 - you just don't wanna be sleepy, right?
Another thing - I've noticed that there are two kinds of ppl - robins and owls. I'm an owl - can't stand mornings!!! When I have to do something during morning hours, I feel exactly like you described. Afternoons/nights are perfect for me. So, maybe you're an owl, stuck on a robin's schedule, or vise-verse.
Anyway, knock off all the snoozing and I think you'll feel better in the long run!
