I never forget to take it so far but it’s that wasted time in the morning before it kicks in that drives me crazy – it’s usually 10 or 11 lately before I get going on anything major during the week. And like you say fragmented sleep is bad too. I usually wake up throughout the night. Mostly it’s like I’m drifting in and out of sleep all night and never feel deep sleep until the early morning hours. when I drank coffee I could be functional within a half hour but this waiting is terrible because the more time you waste the more time you waste, if that makes sense.
My caffeine withdrawal effect seems to have subsided because yesterday and today I felt pretty good once the medication took effect. But I don’t find it’s lasting all that long anymore either so can’t make up the wasted hours later in the day.
I was reading the FlyLady email earlier and got an idea based on her morning routine. THink I’m going to write a few morning routine items on a cue card and keep it in my agenda. I’ve been trying to do that anyway but maybe this way it’ll be more structured seeming.
