Get this person to a Dr. ASAP for an evaluation.  This is not normal.

It would be kind of hard for me to give you a full routine but I could give you a few suggestions. Try and get to bed earlier so that you can wake up earlier. An early morning walk is very refreshing and gets you started to a good day. Never miss breakfast! And try your best to have something healthy like a whole grain cereal or even a porridge ie:oatmeal. Drink lots of water through out the day. Do you have a library or chapers around? Go and have a coffee and read a book for a couple of hours. Have any leisure centres around. Phone and ask them the available activities for the day. They might have aerobic, swimming, kick boxing, skating. Last but not least...make appointements in advance to go out with your friends for a lunch, coffee, movie, walk or many other things. Think possitivly!

It really is just a disipline and habit thing.\n\nAll of us could be poor morning people if we let it slip.\n\nIts probably a question of need. You've not been in trouble for being late so getting away with it subconsiously vindicates your decision to stay in bed.\n\nTry putting the alarm clock somewhere where you have to get out of bed to turn it off, make it an annoying buzzer rather than the radio.\n\nBecasue you are anxious about it, you probably see it as a real chore and resent getting up on time. This makes it harder for you. Can you plan to do something in the morning that you look  forward to ? If you like the news, get up and watch it, or go and buy a paper, get outside for 5 minutes, even if its just standing by the back door while yo uhave your coffee.\n\nIf you are fine throughout the rest of the day, then getting up and seeing the daylight you are wasting will help you get up earlier on other days.\n\nCreate an enjoyable need to get up.\n\nIts easy for me, we've got a farm full of alarm clocks that need feeding !\n\nTiredness, hangover or illness just don't come into it for me, its because i have a need to get up regardless of how i feel. So i don't resent it, I have to be happy doing work at 5AM every morning for the animals sake, you should try to create that need.

yeah, this sounds like you have a problem.  Maybe you aren't a breakfast person?  Maybe you have a medical condition?

I am going to assume that you use an alarm clock to wake you up in the mornings.  If this is so, move the clock away from the bed to a place where you have to get out of bed to shut the alarm off.

Set your alarm clock very early, and don't put it beside your bed. Put it far away from your bed so that you are forced to get up out of bed and turn it off every morning. That is what gets me up.

It works for me but I am a morning person.  Other people are not morning people so it is a bit complicated for them!  It depends on your personal clock.

not really. but it is better not to try and wake him because he may get frightened if you do. it is best to try to lead him back to bed. not much to worry about because it is sometimes associated with the dreaming stage of sleep or with underlying fears and anxieties.

Try to get to bed early. Set a double alarm for about 5-15 minutes apart.  Put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up so shut it off.

To start with you need more sleep, if you aren't waking up it usually means you are overtired.  Also you may try louder and different alarm noises

It takes time, but it can be done. Have her stay up a little longer each day like 15 - 30 minutes. Then get up a little earlier the next day, the same amount of time.

Try a little bicarbonate of soda in half a glass of water. Later don't drink any liquids at least two hours before going to bed and use an extra pillow to raise your head.

The smell of lavender makes me sleepy. If I am pressed for time and need to sleep it has to be dark and I mean turn your alarm clock to the wall dark. As dark as you can make it. No tv, all those flickering lights from the screen in an otherwise dark room seems to really distract the mind and the eyeball. No music, unless you can pinpoint a song that you can kind of tune out and let your mind wander along with. No caffeine or exercise before bed...blah blah blah if all else fails turn on the weather channel.

There are a few things you can try. \n\n1) Make sure during the day you do not take any naps (even just dozing off for a few minutes can affect your ability to get to sleep)\n\n2) Avoid caffiene or sweets any time near you going to bed.\n\n3) Try getting a white noise machine. They play a variety of sounds (crickets, rain, ocean, birds etc).\n\n4) Set a bed time and go to bed at the same time EVERY night.\n\n5) Turn off all lights and make sure you are comfortable. Close your eyes and try to focus on the white noise sound. If your mind starts to wander, focus it back on the white noise.\n\n6) Get comfortable and take deep relaxing breaths. Avoid the impluse to shift or rollover. \n\n7) Finally, be patient. don't expect to be able to go to sleep right away.  At first it might take a long time to go to sleep, but if you are consistant with your bed time and these efforts your body will adjust to the schedule and you will find it easier to get to sleep each night.

I hear you!!!!  I have had the same problem.  I put the alarm clock far enough away from my bed that I have to get up to go shut it off, but I either do that, and immediately fall back into bed and sleep, or else I have even slept through the alarm completely.  My main problem is getting my day--night cycle completely out of whack.  I get used to staying up most of the night and then really getting into sound sleep about the time the sun is coming up.  When your biological clock gets that far out of whack, it isn't easy to reverse.  If you got somebody there to physically get you up and yack at you and help get some strong coffee down you and not let up until you are off to work or wide awake, and furthermore, they keep this up for a week or so, eventually you will start to get the hang of it.  Melatonin has been recommended but it didn't do diddly for me.  You want to avoid sleeping during the day or evening at all costs.  Sleeping in the day or evening will prevent you getting to sleep when you go to bed.  Taking a short acting sleeping pill like ambien for a while, at the time you go to bed, may help you to sleep then, if your biological clock is screwed up.  However, these medications can be very addictive.  If you take it, only take it for a week or so.  Having a coffee pot preset to make a pot of strong coffee before waking time will help.  If you got strong coffee and a snack to wake up to, and then a plan for work or whatever, to get you out of the house early, will help. You may find that you need more sleep and need to go to bed earlier, but right now, it won't work to go to bed before you know you can sleep and stay asleep until morning.  Yeah, a louder alarm clock wouldn't hurt.  I guess you could make a time bomb.  If you live in the country, you could put a time bomb a few yards from your bedroom window.  tee hee  Just make sure it isn't close enough to blow down the wall, and that your dog is removed from the area.  I like that idea.
