Hello,
i've been thinking about why my mood and energy was on specific days/weeks extremly good, and then slowly wears off after some time.
Even after eating food i normally don't tolerate well shortly after going to sleep, i wake up after only 6 hours of sleep and feeling very refreshed.
It happend 2-3 times for a duration of a week, and everytime i had like an extreme dopamine high. My muscle weakness went away, my gym performance was extremly well and my mood and energy was through the roof.
What i noticed on these very good days, that I couldn't wait to go to work after sleeping and stood up immediately after waking up. Normally i snooze for at least 10 minutes, sometimes even one hour, and i wondered if this was one of the reasons i had so much energy. The other reason could be that i had (even only for a short period) a strong purpose as i had something i need to accomplish. The good sleep and energy slowly faded away always after finishing the important work (maybe i've started to snooze again in the morning).
Now i'm wondering after waking up, what effect snoozing has on the circadian rythm. I don't have sunlight in my bedroom, so i have to force my self standing up. I've tried Hue Lights for sunrise emulation, but the brightness never was high enough like the real sun and didn't do much.
For the next days, i try to force my self waking up immediately when i'm awake and see if that changes anything.
