Alchemy,
That's very interesting. I don't know what to make of your observation. Until someone has a better answer, I'd look at all daily activities for change. Sounds like you have. Meal time/content (do you need a different breakfast? More protein? ), sleep/wake times, meds & timing, change of habit or activity.
Are you interested in Chinese medicine? They have a biological clock theory that assigns hours to specific organs or
systems. A skillful practitioner can be useful. A novice could turn it into an unhelpful *cookbook* gloss.How long until your mood improves? How do you cope with your dip?
I can experience a real dip around 10-11
myself which I experience as fatigue w/ mood change on its heels. When I can, I might lie down for half an hour or so. I don't sleep, just rest, maybe read and stay quiet. (Not always convenient.)
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
