Does social phobia make you guys also have more trouble in the morning?

So I'm a 24 year old fairly popular individual with a handful of good friends and close family members. I socialize quite often whether or not I like it at first or how much I dread it initially. But I have to ask you guys, does social phobia make you guys have more embarrassing moments / F-ups as I like to call them in the morning hours? It sucks cuz I get that a lot of people are at their most alert in the morning, but sometimes I feel like just not "there" in the moment quite like most normal folks because of social phobia. I usually hit my stride in the early afternoon, but it kind've sucks. It'll be tough garnering enough respect to rise in the corporate chain, if I can't get myself to wake up early enough to lower my anxiety issues in the morning...Any suggestions?

Yes. Perhaps adjust your schedule so you wake up earlier than you really need to and go to bed earlier so that you have more time to prepare yourself in the morning.

Yeah, mornings can be a bit problematic/sleepy. Not necessarily connected with sp.

Some people drink coffee or orange juice in the morning to 'wake' them up.
Personally, I eat a fruity breakfast and it wakes me up too.

Steiner's idea to wake up earlier and get to bed earlier seems best.
