The Awakening

On a workday, I can be completely deprived of sleep and still hobble to the office in the morning. Then I sit at my desk and desperately fight off the desire to nod off while reading interesting patent applications (not). Sometimes it gets better as the morning progresses, sometimes it doesn't.

Most times, it doesn't.

But one thing stays constant: I have this ability to suddenly awaken, and my energy level lifts back to normal, as lunchtime approaches. I'm like one of those lazy farm animals that lies around and does nothing until feeding time.
