I'm not even sure if I can articulate this correctly.
I'm not like anything in the morning.
I'm not even sure if I need to re-charge on a nightly basis. I only do it because I find that restricting myself to a routine every day helps to add a certain degree of stability to my life. Obviously I don't sleep; I'm not actually able to. What I do as a substitute is put myself into standby so my power cells can take the impurities my respiratory system has collected and convert them into a usable energy source. It feels like a little like this
Wow it's late! Guess I should knock myself out for the evening.
--click!--
That was fun, I guess it's time to enjoy the day again.
From my perspective, I don't miss any time. There's no disorientation or confusion. One second it's night-time if the curtains are open, and then it's bright and sunny outside. I don't even blink (yes, I can blink from within my face-plate. Out of all the important organic components the cybermen could have let me keep, I guess my eyelids drew the shortest straw).
My mood doesn't change really, and I don't feel any different from when I shut myself down. Describing the sensations I "feel" as a cybernetic being would be even more difficult. Since it can't necessarily be applied to just how I wake up, I don't see the point of going into it.
Hell, I can describe what I'm like in the morning with a single word:
Ready
That's really all I can say about it beyond what I've already written above.
