I remember bouncing out of bed energized and feeling good as a kid. That went away when i grew up. For decades. Now I've noticed it since I've been biking and walking almost every day. It was a totally unexpected bonus- to notice I am bouncing out of bed like a kid again in the morning. Of course, getting enough sleep is essential to that. I get better sleep than I used to when I stayed up late watching tv at night. (ugh)
No more stiff, old feeling in the mornings like I was so used to for so many years. Amazing. -But I still do need my caffeine in the morning!
