I really really struggle to get up, doesn't matter what time I go to bed either.
I could go to bed at 10pm or 2am and it doesn't make a difference, I still can't get up.
My mrs gets up at 7am and I don't notice, don't hear here phone alarm, even when she goes downstairs and comes up with a cup of tea, I don't always wake up, I usually wake up at 7.30 ish but hate gettin up and feel crappy for an hour or so, but am fine at 11pm and could happily stay up till 2.

I sleep fine so it's not that, any1 else have the same problem? Or know what I can do to b mote alive 1st thing?

Stupid thing is I can go out and get really drunk and I will wake up at 7 feelin great, no hangover.... But can't do it during the week when I know I gotta get up for work lol. Even tho I know I'm gunna b late if I don't leave at 7.30 lol

do you smoke weed?

if so that could be causing it.

stu21t

Don't smoke anything, never have, no drugs, don't drink during the week.
I'm a very busy/active person and work/always doing stuff from 8.30-10pm never just sit around watchin telly except if im in on a Friday/Saturday night.

you could working too hard and thus tiring yourself out.

try taking it easy for a bit - or it could also be some sort of gas leak at your house (my bro had this as his mrs kept falling asleep but he was fine) - may be worth getting it checked out as its a free check.

We did this on the landlord at uni at 3am for a laugh and were well surprised to find the house we rented off him had a horrendous gas leak

i feel like and have done for years just not a morning person. i can be a night owl totally and stay up 24hrs or more if need be but getting up as u say after early night or late one its the same. thought my other half she can get up like an on switch at anytime in the morning but she dozing off about 9pm.

think it just how you are a morning person or not

~nomad~

That was my first thought! The gas thing is a good point too, I was paranoid about that and got a carbon monoxide thing, but no leak lol.

I do struggle with it sometimes, I work from home and its hard to get going sometimes!

stu21t

Diamonds, it's exactly the same here, she wakes up no problem every mornin but by 9.30 she's fucked and needs her bed, can't stay awake.
Ran, interesting about the gas but pretty sure there's no leak. I could b over workin but have been like this for as long as I can remember, even at school and generally I'm not tired when I go to bed at 11ish, it's just cos it's gettin late.

kosman

i get up at 4am most days,alarm set for 3.15 because i snooze it that much because i cant face getting up,its twice as bad in winter.

stu21t

Stupid thing is if I had to get up at 4 I'd b ok. Whenever I have to b up at that time for whatever reason it's fine (but that's not work related so is different I Spose)

it's really annoying tho
I'd love to b able to get up at 6.30, do a couple of things b4 going to work.

My misses could never get her arse out of bed in the mornings except for when its something to look forward too like a holiday etc

So I got a dog, best alarm clock ever I just go a let it out of the kitchen and it'll make sure shes awake in about 5 seconds

Mike1

My friend was like this when he was young.

Found out a few years later he was just bone idle.......

i go to bed at 12ish and get up at 6ish, all i need is 6hrs sleep anymore and i'll feel like shite, wont wanna get up, will feel soooooo tired up until past midday. it's just to much sleep doesn't matter how tired i am from a hard days work my rest time is taking it easy in the evening after kids go to bed.

Do you sleep walk? having an unrestful nights sleep will cause you to be tired for obvious reasons. might wanna check that, doesn't mean u have to get up out of bed and walk around could just be you wake up alot during the night but don't realise it's that. Watched a documentary on telly few months ago, alot of people that feel over tired in the mornings found that they weren't getting a good nights kip. Usually caused by stress or over tiredness, things on your mind, bills, debts work etc. Try and clear your mind before you go to bed, listen to some easy listening music before bedtime, classical is good for this, just relax yourself and empty your mind see if this has any effect on your sleep.

Good Luck

im up for 4.30 when im on earlys
for some reason i find it easier to get up at that time than i do getting up about 8 or 9

stu21t

That's another thing, I can't turn my mind off, when I am in bed I can't not think of anything. Nothing serious, not work related or about bills, money or anything. It's just general crap I think of or stuff I wanna do or am lookin forward to.
I think I sleep ok, I know I am restless and stir during the night, part of that is down to drinkin too much coffee, I've cut down from 8/9 cups a day to 2/3.
But it's mornings that are my problem, I hate gettin out of bed, even to walk the dogs, I just end up startin work later lol

Csm

My missus is murder for getting up, She has her alarm on her mobile set and hits snooze for 50 minutes every day, i stand and moan at her to get up if im about lol

AlexF

Stu, I am exactly the same (even the same on coffee LOL)

I put it down to just how it is - I perfer to be up late than up early...

Alex

cossiejsy

I cant get up for work at 4:30am in the week day but come the weekend i am up bloody early

saph4be

christ all you ppl gettin up at 4 or 6 in morning lol i think i got it hard gettin up around 7!!! im just not a mornin person. ppl shout at me for ages before i even make a noise

Shaggy's Auto Store

You might not think it but you are depressed (aparently) , i had this a few years ago slept great but come the morning i just kept needing more time in bed to bring myself to get out, once i was up i was fine. Doctor gave me tablets and had a chat in my ear. I fucked the tablets away as i didnt want to go down that route but it seemed to just fade out. Now i set my alarm a 6.55am and get up after a nine minite snooze no bother..

i feel like i cant get up if ive had the window closed all night, so i have it open..that works for me..and we dont even have central heating

I never have a problem getting up in the morning , its getting up at dinner time thats a right pain in the arse , lol

stu21t

thats how my old man is, lol
gets up in the mornin fine, but gets home after work and falls asleep on the sofa, then cant sleep when he goes to bed, untill 2am ish. lol

i hate it tho. would much rather be able to get up at 6.30-7 and then go to bed at 11, still getting 8hrs sleep but a good day to.

ste1806

I have never been able to get up, although i have had Myasthenia gravis all my life. i feel like i could have 16 hours sleep still would not be enough, although i can still get through the day on 4 hours sleep. Funiest thing though is my alarm wakes my wife, and son and usually my neigbours but i still sleep through it and swear blind my wife turns it off. Once she went on holiday with her parents and i was late for work all week lol. but i'd say i was more of a night person though but i am always feeling tired.

as355f1

stu21t, you have just described my life, i have exactly the same problem

stu21t

fucking annoying isnt it. lol
i wonder if its down to being a petrolhead. lol

Gadget

i get up at half 4 weekdays, then half 3 on a saturday. most nights i'm asleep by half 10, one or two nights, i'm gone on the sofa around 9ish! don't ever have a problem getting up, it just feels wrong that early!

Paulo P

I'm exactly the same too, doesn't matter what time I go to bed because I'm not tired and if I'm not tired I will just lay there awake thinking of random things whilst trying really hard to get to sleep I hate early mornings but it's weird that I never ever get tired at night and I can never just fall asleep and it's so annoying, I can feel tired in the daytime but come the evening I'm wide awake!

as355f1

i watched something a while ago about peoples time clock's something to do about the time of day you were born, i know years ago i worked 3 months on night shifts 5pm to 7am and it was the best i ever felt, slept mint through the day and was wide awake all night while the other lads were dead on there feet, its a bastard if i go on a stag do now though as i am always the last man standing at 4-5am ready to go on and all me mates are in bed ,

bil_s2

I have exactly the same issue. It's not too bad in the lighter mornings when the daylight helps me wake up naturally but dark morning are a killer. My g/f got me a dimmer lamp for the bedside table that comes on gradually brighter over an hour or so to simulate the summer morning and help you wake up naturally. (It didn't really work for me though...)

I've been like this for a few years now.....can be a right cunt when i'm supposed to be at a customers house at 8 or whatever and i'm late! I wake up but just hit the snooze button for ages even though in my head i know i should be getting up i just can't bring myself to do it. Weekends always seem so much easier to get up though

Sound like an active mind, I have had the same problems before its very hard to switch off before bed.

Neil@FastFord

I sleep very little. Usually about 5.5 hrs a night during the week.

If i have something on or i am motivated, it's no bother, even if i have stayed up till silly 'o clock. I can be up straight away, sometimes waking up before the bells.

When i'm getting run down, little cat naps work wonders for me.

Getting up in winter is real hard though when it's cold. I turn my alarms back so they go off even earlier. Gives me chance to come to terms with the day.

MikeR

Not really a fan of the morning, but have found l sleep deeper and better after we fitted a black out blind at home,

Mike

MadMac

My god I am soo glad I am not the only person like this.

I am always getting a bollocking at work because I cut it a bit late, but I suffer from it too. Particularly in the winter, I just can't wake up in the mornings, can't turn off at night.

I can get anything between 4-10 hours sleep in a night, and doesn't matter I just can't wake up. I set my alarm clock for an hour and a half before I need to wake up, but I still get out of bed at the last possible moment. Its fucking annoying

Then when I go to bed at night, doesn't matter what time I go I just can't go to sleep until 1/2 in the morning sometimes. Brain just doesn't switch off and a hundred and one things might be going through my mind at the time. It really does piss me off

And yet, when I get home after work and go to bed at 6pm I can have a nap no problems. Or on the train on the way home I will just go to sleep while reading a paper. I can have a nap in a empty meeting room at work at lunch no problems.

But why can't I turn off at night when I should be sleeping and why can't I wake up in the mornings no matter how much sleep I get.

jameswrx

Same here, I can't get to work on time ever.. I don't have to be there on time but I'm on piece work so only shooting myself in the foot. I'm not aware of my alarm (despite turning it off) I do take a lot of prescription drugs though which don't help, lots of pain killers waste you nicely
