Yeah, right. As if the widely sympathized image of the morning zombie had no basis in reality.

- ZoomZoomZoom 4y agoThis is the only reply to my snarky comment I can concur to so far. I missed the adverb which, you could argue, applies to both sentences. Other comments miss the fact that just having enough (or more) full sleep cycles and following basic "sleep hygiene" is still not enough to feel rested in the morning for a considerable part of population. My original comment is not up to standard, I'm not trying to deny that.
