During the last couple of months, I noticed that my metabolism doesn't rev up fully until 3PM (markers: mental clarity, body temperature, circulation). Digestion follows the same pattern. Evening meal can be a big one and I don't experience much of a downer. Same meal at lunch time or breakfast would give me a drowsy feeling for a while.
Hasn't always been this way. I've always been an early riser (naturally with sunrise), early to bed type, and used to be able to hit the ground running, mentally and physically (things going downhill from there). Now it seems it just takes forever for me to hit my peak.
Things that somewhat help: protein (animal) with some no-starch carbs. Aspirin. Noon-to-3PM sunlight (even through windows), the more exposed skin, the better.
Caffeine gives me a jolt, mentally, but not temperature-wise.
Have you found a way to bypass / reprogram this? The only tip that comes to mind is from DurianRider, his idea being that one should start the day with something around 1,000 calories. Which I currently am not doing.
