I’d probably suggest everyone just stick to multivitamins. My OB-GYN mentioned they help with immunity—and honestly, back when I was dealing with some gynecological issues, they actually helped with the nausea too, I guess.
If you can, maybe pick up some Previa multivitamins. They’re formulated for pregnancy, but apparently, they’re some of the best on the market—my doctor says if they’re good enough for the baby, they’re good enough for me.
They even give you a little boost, kind of like how Vitamin C does.
I suppose they can only do so much, though.
On top of that, my doctor suggested getting more sleep, staying active, and just spending more time outdoors.

I noticed this thread is pretty old, but I figured I’d jump in and share how I finally managed to sort my situation out xD

Every morning, I used to wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a freight train, which was honestly driving me absolutely insane... 🙄 It would take me until well after lunch just to feel like a functioning human being again

So, I made two simple changes: I started sleeping with the window wide open and made sure to shut down my computer at least an hour before hitting the sack... and man, the difference is unbelievable; I wake up feeling incredibly refreshed and rested. My room is pretty small, and when the PC has been running all day, you can really smell that heavy, stagnant air... the only real downside is during the winter when it gets freezing outside... then I can't exactly leave the window cracked open all night
Maybe I'll try using a laptop instead; at least I can just tuck that away when I go to bed

I’m dealing with this issue: for about 20—maybe even 30—minutes after I wake up, I’m stuck in this half-asleep haze. I end up rambling nonsense, my emotions are all over the place, and unless I’m practically forced to stumble around and get things done, any sofa or armchair will just pull me right back down into dreamland. Usually, I either remember nothing at all or everything feels incredibly foggy.

A few ways this plays out in my life:
*I’ll get up, sit in the living room for a coffee while my husband heads off to work, and then—poof—I’ve drifted off again and wake up at noon.
*I’ll say whatever random, blunt things come to mind to people—basically telling them exactly where to go—and when they bring it up later, I have zero recollection of it.
*My attempts to use an alarm are useless because I just keep hitting snooze. Since I know I’m prone to this, I’ve tried hiding my phone in weird spots to make it harder to reach (like tucking it under a rug, for instance), but apparently, even in this semi-conscious state, I can manage those little tasks easily enough... only to wake up at midday with the phone right next to me.

I need to start addressing this immediately—though I honestly don't even know where to begin—so here is my first step: I'm asking if anyone can provide a medical perspective on why my brain might be struggling to transition from sleep to being fully awake, and how one might actually fix it.
