Yes, it looks like we are all in the same or similar boat. Sometimes it's the mornings, sometimes the evenings for me. Sometimes both. Mornings seem harder though.
One of my friends who went through one of these things we are going through recommended to take a cold shower in the morning and shiver for a minute. Somehow it's relaxing later. He said to do it consistently every day and it became part of his new routine to this day (for over 4 years now).
I've tried it for a week now and it works a little.
