I've been experiencing this as well, but for me it seems to be largely seasonal (very long dark days in winter around here). I find that forcing myself to get up early and get started with the day results in more energy throughout, but in the darkest months that's difficult. I think taking vitamin D helps me personally, but have never gotten a proper blood test to know if I was deficient.

Exercise always helps, but with gyms being closed during COVID I haven't been lifting, which is usually my exercise of choice. In the cold months it is so easy not to step foot outside for days at a time.

I hope you will update us with daily morning walks. I have a strong suspicion that would help me as well: if I just had the energy and willpower to get out of a warm bed on a very cold day and do it.
