Waking up! TORTURE!

Post Reply New Topic

I have always had big problems waking up. I feel like I want to die right after I wake up and this feeling last for hours, often longer. I can't belive that everyone else feels the same way. I understand that others have problems waking up, but all the people I have talked to, says it's no big deal to wake up. They are tired, but that's all.
For me, it is so bad I start worrying the night before, and in some cases I lie awake all night to avoid the pain of waking up.

Anyone else have this problem?

yes. Wild horses can't make getting up look like a good idea. Especially if I have a lot to do that day or are heading to work / school / college, delete as appropriate. Konstans Is there something in the daytime that you're not looking forward to doing? Are some mornings worse than others?

Honestly, sometimes I just take some time to get up. I don't work with rushing ><

Try some medication or one of those wake up lights. Your brain chemistry sounds like its out of whack.

I felt this way for the first 34 years of my life. Then I found out that I had sleep apnea. Now I use a machine that helps me breathe while I sleep and getting up is 10x easier than it used to be.

Go get a sleep study. Waking up should not be painful, and you should not feel drugged after you get up. I'm still not a morning person, but 10 minutes after getting up I am awake and refreshed.

The way you're describing it, I think yours is at least several bajillion times worse than mine but I can kinda, sorta relate. In the morning, when the noise of everyone else getting up for school and work, wakes me up...I lay in bed, completely incapable of fathoming how they can actually bring themselves to get up. It seems like a complete impossibility. When I was a kid, I'd lay in bed for more than an hour after I'd woken up (if possible) because actually moving and committing to being awake felt so difficult. I think these symptoms were most difficult when my thyroid was very low functioning so I'd that checked out as a precaution as well.

Between complete lack of motivation, lack of sleep, and the occasional sleep paralysis - sometimes getting up feels like I am ripping my brain in half. Dehydration is usually what gets me up.

One thing that I found helps is going with along with the REM cycle. People have their own length, though roughly plan 90 minute intervals. You wake up in the middle on one, you can be irritable and tired all day.

I have one of these ............

In my experience my belief system was the biggest changer from my perpetual desire to stay in bed.

I hear that some people don't breathe properly while asleep, which doesn't give you the revitalization you are meant to get from sleep. I think someone mentioned it earlier in this thread. Maybe you can consult your doctor to deal with it, if that's what's causing the problem, or just to find out.

I don't think I have that problem myself, but I know the horrible feeling of waking up tired. It happens to me only once in a while for no apparent reason. After enough hours of sleep, I drag myself out of bed and can't shake off the sleepiness for the whole day. It is really horrible.

Also get up really fast and force yourself into a really cold shower.

Maybe you need a sleep mask?
