It's always been like this, no matter the time I get up.
When I'm near the time I got up, I'm tired. Not a "need to sleep" tired, but more of a "depression" tired. But as I near my time to sleep, I become more energized, up to a point where I don't feel like sleeping, yet I know I have to so I go to sleep.

I don't drink coffee since I refrain from doing so.
Interestingly, at times my father mildly moans about not being able to hold himself without coffee.

How can I make myself more awake when I get up? I started eating 2 whole-bread sandwiches consisting of cheese and ham, each. And, a salad.
Anything I can add to the meal to boost my day? Something to do in the morning to fuel my blood?
