Always send the thank you... if nothing else, leaves a positive after taste should you wish to interview with them again in the future. Don’t be the person who didnt interview well AND didn’t send a “thank you”

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
