Hi,
Looking for some advice & help on the above matter. For the last six months or so I have been really struggling to get up in the morning. I have never been a real morning person but I could consistently get up around 8.30 and be fine. During this time I started a new job were I could start anytime I wanted as long as it was before 12 noon. I would get up at 11, get showered grab toast and go. I hated doing this as it would mean I would not be in the house till 9pm and unable to do anything such as gym or see friends as basically I would just be getting my clothes & food ready for next day then going to bed and repeating process Monday to Friday every week.
I am not working for this company anymore. I stopped about six weeks ago thankfully. I am starting a new job in under two weeks and during the six weeks I have been off I was supposed to be reading up on my new products but I haven't as I am in the process of starting up an online store through shopify and have spent all my spare time doing this. I am angry at myself as I should have had the time to do both of these during the six weeks I have spent in the house but I have a real problem of oversleeping and struggling to get up.
I have been monitoring my sleep using my activity tracker and I am sleeping an average of 10 hours every night. I go to bed at midnight and get up between 10-10.30. I hate getting up so late and it is a terrible start to my day, I start beating myself up and hating on myself for being a lazy fucker. I have been repeating this process for many months. I have obviously tried to get up early but to no avail. I purchased one of those loud ass sonic boom alarms. One of those things that your neighbors across the street would hear. I put that in my living room each night and have tried differing times. 6,7,8, even 9am and still same result. I get up walk into living room and pull out plug and go back to bed.
I have tried to make arrangements with friends to get up early and go to gym so I will be answerable to someone else. I think that worked once and then I would just text and cancel when I woke up and go back to bed. I have tried going to bed earlier at night say 10pm in the hope that I will wake for six but what happens is I just lie in bed for hours not being able to fall asleep and then just get up at same time next day.
I have googled this and tried looking at solutions. I have seen some articles saying it may be a medical condition. I really do not want to go and see a doctor regarding this. I would be the first to say to one of my friends if they had this problem that they are just a lazy fucker and to man up and get up early so I am not wanting to see a doctor about this really.
As I said earlier I have never really been an morning person but it is something I would like to be. I have managed on brief occasions in the past been able to drag myself up at 6.00am and go about my day. I feel much more productive and have an all round good vibe when doing this so it is a habit I am trying to develop. Looking for any suggestions or if anyone has been in a similar position and got around this it would be great to hear from you all!
