I don't have breakfast until after I have switched on (20 to 30 minutes). Similarly, try to adjust your other doses between meals, and not too soon after a meal.

Ron & Peggy,
I typically wake up around 4:15 and feel "on" until around 6:45. I know this may not be typical of PWP, but it is my experience.
I take my 1st dose @ 6:15-- always at least 60 minutes after eating-- and always wait at least 30 minutes after the dose before I eat anything else.
What advanatges do you think taking the Sinemet right away when I get up would have? Of course, there is one way to find out.
I should also add that from 5:00pm on, I am pretty much just a vegetable, and typically go to bed by 8:00pm.
Thanks for your thoughtful replies.
George
