Basically, what I would is happening, is your firing on overdrive in the morning, and maybe through the night, so you are not resting, and its like you are running a marathon every morning...so no wonder you are extremely tired in the afternoon..really you need to calm your system down in the morning. When you get up, gentle yoga and meditation wil be a MASSIVE help and should be at the forefront of things for you....liponano Vitamin C will also help reduce cortisol in the morning
