First I woke up late (not late enough to be late for work), it was a battle with myself to finally get out of bed. Then I tried to do a minimal morning exercise, but quickly understood that I had almost zero energy. But the worst was that I felt like I hadn't woke up. And that stopped only in the second half of the day. Add here irritability and you get the picture. :-\

PS. I forgot to write - irritability and the lack of energy are not constant.

I understand you completely what you feel when you have absolutely no motivation to stand up and walk - Yea stand up as we can not speak about waking up.

But somehow we cope and adjust with our weaknesses.

It is possible rise these levels with exercise, lowered air pressure, iron rich products or tablets or use doping substances like erytropoietin that increase your red bloodcell count.

The difference is noticeable in energy levels, according to my personal experience.

I've been doing that for years and never had an issue but now had a low hematocrit reading. I added a daily iron tablet to go along with the calcium I already took and in a few weeks my hematocrit was back to acceptable levels and I probably did have a bit more energy. And they liked my blood better!
