I have never been a "morning person". Yet morning people, people who are out jogging at 5AM before work are looked up up to as the go-getters, people who are winners in life. I am an outlier again, so what else is new?

Actually the health professionals are starting to notice that strenuous exercise first thing in the morning is quite bad for the heart. So we might see who's a winner in a few years' time.

I've felt subclinically ill in the mornings for decades, and can only vaguely remember waking up bright and bouncy as a child. Once that was over, having to get up for school or work became difficult, at first just because of tiredness, but eventually there was nausea, muscular weakness, sensitivity to cold, and wretched feelings of fear and sorrow. By my 40s it was bad enough for me to worry that if I felt that old at 45, what would I be like in a couple more decades? But things seemed to ease off, and I feel better now than I used to.
