kan het kloppen dat ik 's ochtends geen zin in heb in complexe werktaken die abstract denken vereisen?

It's completely normal to feel less inclined to engage in complex tasks that require abstract thinking in the morning. According to Andrew Huberman from the Huberman Lab, cortisol levels peak early in the day, which provides the energy needed for critical tasks. However, many people tend to use this energy for less demanding tasks, like checking emails, rather than focusing on more complex, cognitively demanding work. This can lead to a misalignment in energy usage.

As the day progresses, there is often a natural dip in energy, particularly after lunch, which may surprisingly result in better focus for tasks requiring sustained attention and reduced task switching. This is because a slightly relaxed state can enhance concentration by reducing distractions, despite a decrease in overall alertness 1.
