Coffee might help
coffee i dont drink coffee my parents wont allow probably once a month or something but how is that even going to help drinking coffee?
Caffeine makes you wake up faster
Try warming up your chess skills before getting into actual games. Just try a few puzzles before playing for real, and you should be more prepared in the future.

You may still be a bit sleepy. I play rapid chess to try to wake up when I am sleepy but don't want to be (afternoons and early evenings, typically). It means I lose a lot of games at those times but I do wake up. I play only casual at those times... and at most other times too....
It's mostly a case of sleep inertia - a transition from being asleep to fully awake.During this time you might feel a bit drowsy , tired and your body co-ordination may not be fully operational yet.
So, maybe your brain is still in a bit of that stage , hence you're underperforming during that time.
#3 Caffeine does help get rid of sleep inertia. Caffeine can also keep you awake for long at nights , helps if you're working for late hours and you need to be awake.
But not required , your body will automatically start functioning normally within 15-30 minutes , varies from person to person.I have never tried playing as soon as I woke up as I have other important priorities except a few times where I played Arena Kings and the Lichess Marathon.I played normally during that time ngl, no issues with my performance.
It's totally normal , you could avoid playing as soon as you get up and start playing after 30min - 1 hour depending on when you feel fully awake.

Why are you playing as soon as you wake up? Get some breakfast or something.
