Benefits of Training Half Awake

Training in the early morning before I'm fully awake has been interesting and a bit enlightening. I have noticed both my weapon and hand form feel better. There is better flow, stability and power. Hmm... I think this is because I've yet to gather the stresses and built up tensions of the coming day. I'm less in my head. In that moment I am mostly unencumbered which allows my body to move with fluidity and flow. 

While doing Da Mu Hsing on Thursday I became very aware of my hands and how they were moving. It was almost as if they had a life of their own. I felt more defined movement in my hands, more rotation and more snap and power. I'm not exactly sure there wasn't some over exaggeration of movement, but it does feel like I'm on the right track. The question now is how do I create a similar state of being while doing my forms at other times of the day?
