sents: text: Although perhaps not a direct answer to the question, I'd just like to throw in the following phrase that specifically relates to feeling sluggish with perhaps a slight lazy or melancholy connotation, specifically relating to Mondays: Don't talk to Jeff at the moment.
text: He's got a bad case of the Monday blues With regards to being not being alert and at your best in the mornings, as Pubby suggests
text: I'm not a morning person which is quite a common expression, meaning someone who isn't at their best in the Mornings - although as Barbara points out, that's not necessarily because of laziness, it might mean someone who just really doesn't enjoy mornings.
text: There's also a wonderful phrase to describe the opposite, i.e. someone who is always ready to go and enthusiastic in the mornings:
text: I love how our interns always arrive at work bright eyed and bushy
text: tailed meaning that the interns are always alert and enthusiastic when they arrive at work.

sents: text: There's also the phrase "rolling out of bed in the morning" which specifically means that it was difficult to wake up and get out of bed, but is commonly used to describe any type of morning laziness or slow start to a morning.
text: It's usually used in the past tense such as "I rolled out of the bed this morning" or "I was rolling out of the bed this morning", but can also be used in future tense for situations where someone knows it will be difficult to wake up or get going such as "I'm going to be rolling out of bed tomorrow morning because I need to wake up early to prepare for a presentation".

sents: text: The term Sleep Inertia describes reduced abilities immediately after waking up.
text: However this is a somewhat technical term that may not be very widely known.
