Sleep and very low carb way of eating
Eat meat, sleep better.

I fall asleep hard and quickly. I wake 7 hours later fully awake immediately. Dreams happen, last night I had two different ones that I recalled when I woke. But as soon as I was awake I could immediately be up and doing stuff.
Alcohol messes with this in all dimensions - slower falling asleep, fuzzier wake up. It's so much better when sober. Sometimes I simply can't fall asleep because I'm too drunk.
I've found being on mostly carnivore that coffee and tea is much more effective, keeps me very wired now, even one cup.
My circadian rhythm is stronger now, I get tired when the sun goes down, easy to go to sleep if I let myself.
Wow growth hormone depends on deep sleep cycles!
