Trained hard and did a lot of riding in summer and not really had a break.
Really hard mentally to maintain training for this long. Take a week off and see how you feel? Better now than later.

Perhaps try a caffeine drink before you start, something with a little sugar to give you some energy (even just a milky coffee). If you're going in after sleeping, fasted, your workout might be too difficult for your fasted state.
Skip the morning and shift to an evening workout and see if you're any better?

Take a break. It sounds like you are mentally tired, so having a few weeks off should see your motivation levels return. You can still ride your bike if you want, but ride without a computer, or any goals and just enjoy it. Or you can just not ride for a bit.
Don't feel guilty, you're not paid to ride and do it because (I assume) you enjoy it, so try and get that enjoyment back.

I keep on starting a workout in the morning and then bailing as soon as it gets tough. Then going back for a different session after work coz I'm pissed off about the morning. I used to be fine training early morning.
Any ideas what may be the craic? The mojo is up and down and has been for weeks. Trained hard and did a lot of riding in summer and not really had a break.
Is my body starting to tell me to calm the f down? Struggling to bring myself to take time off, feel guilty about the idea - stupid.
