Protein (meat for me) will keep you alert. So when I go to sleep really late, I make sure that I postpone it even further, take my breakfast with meat, go to sleep. This will make me more alert, earlier in the morning, so my sleep pattern gets a reset (you need to sleep early to wake up early but how do you sleep early if you are not tired? my solution is to postpone going to sleep as much as possible but eat protein just before). Another thing to consider are carbohydrates as in potatoes for me. If you read too much "eat vegetables, eat protein" articles it may be that you do not eat enough carbohydrates. No carbs, no energy. For instance eating just a salad, means no carbs for you at that meal but also vegetables will kill your appetite for your next meal. Best is to eat vegs and carbs. Also protein takes a lot of energy to digest, less energy for you. Carbs = energy, no brain fog Protein = slow to digest -> slow transit -> less energy absorbed in the guts -> more brain fog Vegs = less energy, more brain fog
