How can you wake up early every morning, and not go back to bed after that? I really need some help on this?

LOL, I know that really sucks huh. I've had that problem all my life. I'm not a morning person. It's like either I'll wake up go use the bathroom and stay up for an hour or two, or I'll wake up with intentions of getting up but hardley ever works. Try  what the first person told you to do. After you get up and turn the alarm clocks off, put your clothes on that you are going to where for the day. That might help you wake up a little bit. Or try doing a little walk for 5 minutes in the morning.

Set numerous alarms to go off two minutes apart.  You'll never have time to fall back asleep, and you'll get out of bed to stop the noise!

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!

Don't drink caffeine after 3:00 p.m.\nDon't excercise within 2 hours before going to bed.\nTake a warm bath about 45 min. before going to bed.\nKeep your bedroom at a comfortable temperature- esp. not too hot, around 72-74 degrees is good.\nNo light in room, not even a nightlight or light from alarm clock, esp. don't get up after dozing off and turn a light on, interferes with melatonin production and throws your body clock off.\nTry a sound machine or fan- something with a soothing "white noise" type of sound.\nEat a turkey sandwich or warm milk before going to bed, helps your body produce tryphtotonin and serotonin.\nTry Valerin root and 2mg.melatonin\nDo deep breathing and guided imagery meditation before bedtime.

One of my problems is that I'll be thinking about the things I need to do the next day or the week.  That makes me stay awake.  Get up drink some water and lay back down and try to just relax, don't think about going back to sleep - just relax.  If that don't work then count sheep, that does work.

Yeah, I have this same problem. (To those who responded with "just wake up" its not that easy.)\n\nI've been to tons of different doctors, and had a lot of different tests done. (Something you should try, low iron and diabetes, along with depression could be causing it)\n\nI've tried lots of the other advice people have given -- a lot of VERY good advice guys :), but personally, it doesn't matter where, when, or how well I sleep, it's nearly impossiable for me to wake up.\n\nI eventually just accepted this, and will sleep forever on days that I don't have to get up. \nAnd on days where I must get up early (or like, you know, at ALL :) I have 7 different alarms clocks going off around my rooms. (It sounds like a clock factory) I have one outside my door so I have to leave my room to shut it off, and others "hidden" -- so I can hear them, but cant shut them off while half-asleep. \nTry writing yourself a big note and sticking to the alarm clock to remind yourself what your have to get up and do (EX: doctors appt 9 AM). \nOne of my alarms plays a CD I like, so instead of turning it off and going back to sleep, I leave it on and listen to it.\n\nThen  I crawl into the shower and chug a pot of coffee to try to wake up :)\n\nGood luck ! :)\n\n    (And to you morning people -- I can stay until 6am and still be perfectly happy ! :)

Suggestions:\n\n1. Get a dog that barks early every morning.\n2. Get one of those alarm clocks that has wheels and runs away from you when you get up to shut it off.\n3. Drink LOTS of water before going to bed so you MUST get up in the morning to go pee. Then jump in the tub before you have a chance to go back to bed.\n\nHope this helps!!! ; )

My suggestion is to make lists, so you can cross off things when you do them. If it has to be so simple that you write down get up at 9, do that! Try very hard not to vary the times you go to bed and get up. Most articles I have read in the health magazines say that a consistent bedtime and wake up time are the most helpful. And don't vary it on the weekends!!! \n\nAs far as motivation, set goals. I will do 3 new things a day just for me. And if you are in to it, write down what you did and how it felt, if you would do it again, or not. Try something you have always wanted to do but "thought you were too busy."  \n\nAnother good solution is FLYLADY.com. She breaks things up into workable parts. Try that.

Wow, I can totally relate to your problem... I have some pretty bad dreams myself! I had one the other night.. it was so scary, and I woke up at 5:30 in the morning just to get out of the dream! \nThat is what I do most of the time, I force myself to wake up, and sometimes it's only after it's gotten worse! I wondered how I could get through the previous parts without waking up... but when I do wake up, I usually get up quickly, to try to chase the memory of the bad dream away! It works most of the time...  There was an old saying once upon a time about what to do about nightmares... "take a bale of hay to bed with you to feed them!"  ;0)  Seriously though, I have found out that the most frequent nightmares are from when I am eating close to bedtime!\nIt's mostly sweets too... so I have had to cut back on those darn things and not eat so late at night.  I have also found that when I wake up from a nightmare, I am usually on my back... and I hate that... So I try really hard to stay on my side, or my stomach! I know it's not like I can control it when I'm sleeping.. but I do try! \n The meds are supposed to help you relax and sleep, but there is a potential for addiction to some types of sleep inducing drugs!\nWork with your Dr. and see what is best and safe for you ok! I have alot of empathy for you, I have been through this for years! \nGood luck... and as one good person already said, Prayer helps!

Wake up because once you get your metabolism going it will work through-out the day. Make sure you eat breakfast.

i noticed that i would get up really early for an early shift at work (ie- when i absolutely had to be there or else bad consequences)and had a hard time rousing myself other times when it was something i wanted to do for me.  try multiple... i mean MULTIPLE loud alarms 4 minutes apart.  it gave me the sense of being bugged to get up urgently.  also having a light on in the house helps, like the bathroom light that you can see from bedroom door.  once up and moving i'm not too bad.... and think of a treat you'd get up for, like a good coffee, shower, going out for breaky.  it took me 6-12 months to be good in the mornings... but i guess the main thing is that i decided i had a life i wanted to live, not sleep through.  and yes, there is much to do, and i tell myself if i'm really that tired, i can take a break and a quick catnap later on.... but i seldom need it.   also getting fitter and healthier helped, ensuring i do at least 150mins of cardio a week ( and that used to sound impossible to me), and make sure you do get a good night's sleep at least 5 nights a week.  don't stuff sleep around... it really is sooooo important and undervalued.  don't motivate yourself with things you HAVE to do...what are you doing them for? to create a life you love? to make your life easier?to make you happier? "because you have to" or to please others is enough to keep anyone from getting up and starting their day.  remind yourself that you really WANT to get up and be active. upon waking, tell yourself you reaaly LOVE your life... and fake it until you make it.  good luck.

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.

There are a rew things that help.\n\n1.  Go to bed early (get at least 7 hours sleep)\n2.  Put your alarm clock so far away from the bed that you have to get up to turn it off and make it annoyingly LOUD.\n3.  Remind yourself of the reason you are getting up early and what benifits it will bring.  i.e.  getting up early for work = money; working out = puts you at the top of your game and improves your health

dont get him out of bed, it's plain and simple, see, he shouldn't have to depend on you to wake him up, he should do it himself...so just dont wake him up a few times, let him be late, and hopefully he'll learn to get up on his own and let you get some extra ZZZzzz's

I told you. You just have to tough it out. Stay up all day from 6 am to 10pm then lay in your bed and stair at the ceiling all  night untill 6 am then make your self get up an DO NOT NAP untill 10 pm\n\nIn 3 days you will be better. \n\n10 points\n\nPs. NO NAPS during the day. And DO NOTHING DURING THE NIGHT no reading in bed. If you have a tv in your room unplug it do nothing in bed but lay there. \n\nIt sux but it will work
