Grouchy or Grogginess

Psalm 108. (2) Awake, lute and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.
4 (3) I will thank you, Adonai, among the peoples;
I will make music to you among the nations.
5 (4) For your grace is great, above heaven,
and your truth, all the way to the skies.

Morning, Rs! I can identify with what you were writing on being grouchy, wc i really can be. Just having The sleep disturbed affects feelings early in the morning. I havent had coffee or tea, but abt a third of a cup of yogurt and some water earlier today. Ah, and havent had chance to read the links in the OP=).

But for me, esp these days, after realizing what time it is, i often decide if i can linger 5 min. before rising or 30 min. more hehe. The few mins. gives me parts of songs to the Lord, wc i either speak or sing a line of. ('The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases/ I will sing of the mercies of the Lord, etc.).

Then i start awakening the dawn, not necessarily with the lute and lyre; simply recognizing that God's grace is great, and His truth too, all the way to the skies!

I have yet to check on the links=)).. ah ok, so i did look at your 2nd link!

I added a link? I mean it did come from a website but I didn't know I added 1 link much less 2.... hmmm

I think she means your signature line links. Sometimes, on some signatures the links used can look like part of the thread......

Grouchy. Some people wake up grouchy in the morning— this is a fact. That said, is there something deeper going on behind this seemingly never-ending mood? And, does it say anything about the kind of sleep someone is getting?


Sleep inertia is a physiological state of impaired cognitive and sensory-motor performance that is present immediately after awakening.


Sleep inertia. We know the sleep inertia phase lasts 5 to 20 minutes normally but not always. As Allison G. Harvey, Ph.D, professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and director of the Golden Bear Sleep and Mood Research Clinic, explained to The Huffington Post, this transitional period can, in fact, last longer.


So it is actually quite accurate you are not really you when you first wake up.

Ways to speed up the brain of course can be coffee, black tea, or even just spending time sitting in the sun.

That's a very interesting post Roughsoul. I've discussed something similar with my sister sporadically. She insists that she just needs coffee; a definite non-morning grouch!

I think the Marine Corps has a way of getting a person over it in seconds.
