Why it matters
Feeling alert at night and exhausted in the morning is a classic sign of a disrupted cortisol rhythm. Cortisol is supposed to peak in the morning to wake you up and drop by evening to let you wind down. When that rhythm is inverted, your energy pattern is too. But what's disrupting the rhythm? Light exposure, caffeine timing, late eating, chronic stress, alcohol, or screen habits can all shift your cortisol curve. Knowing which one is causing yours is the only way to fix it.
When Normal helps
Normal tracks the relationship between your evening habits and your morning energy over time. It looks at what you ate, when you had caffeine, what time you stopped screens, what your stress level was, and how you felt the next morning. Over weeks it finds the specific pattern that's keeping you wired at night and exhausted in the morning.
How Normal finds it
You check in with Normal in the morning and evening. Tell it how you're feeling and what you did. Normal builds the picture across weeks and finds the specific habits that are most consistently connected to your inverted energy pattern. Most people are surprised by how specific and simple the cause turns out to be.
