OT: I hate mornings

Waking up is horrible, and it takes hours for me to even feel like a human being. And no wonder. A study released earlier this week suggests that we are half-witted when we first wake. The effects on cognition are more severe than either sleep deprivation or being legally drunk.

Morning grogginess more debilitating than drunkeness or sleep deprivation, according to CU-Boulder study

Since another study found that 7% of workers drink on the job and 9% go to work despite nursing serious hangovers, I suppose that the grogginess and hangovers would be worst in the morning, then the on-the-job drinking kicks in at lunch time. Maybe the lesson is to call customer service in the evening if you really need something done.
