You might have your sleeping times screwed up. I do mornings better if I get to bed by 10:00, then I get sleepy again the next night around the same time.

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.

Well you have to wake up first to be able to open your eyes I would think.

Yes.  Not frequently, though.  I've woken my partner up before.  Don't worry about it... no need to see a doc unless you hate it.

Because you probably woke up at 4 in the morning, stayed awake in a semi-conscious state until 6, fall into a lovely sleep again; then the alarm goes off at 7

LOL - you must disapprove of mornings as much as I do.  Normally I can go in at whatever time I care to (today 10 am) - however I was "lucky" enough to be invited to a meeting with the CEO and now he is 900 years old and wakes at the ass crack of dawn...so I have to wake at 6 am.

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

Your body is trained to have you wake up after you have had enough sleep.

I usually go to bed around 23:00 when I start work at 09:00, and 22:00 when I start at 08:00. I'm up whenever my body says it's enough or if I can't sleep anymore. Strange, I hardly ever need my alarm clock anymore.

I know, i hate that, i think it is because u are used to getting up, and going to sleep at the same time, ur body needs to adjust, like the first day off of school for example.

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

i would ask you to never skip breakfast due to many important reasons. First, it is normal to not feel hungry when you wake up, however you should eat withing 30-45min after waking up. the reason for this is that your body is in muscle wasting state when you wake up. it has not had proper nutrition while you were sleeping, and your insulin levels are probably quite low. Once you wake up, your metabolism kicks into high gear and if your body does not have food readily available, it will go and canibalise your muscles and break them down for energy. You definatly do not want that, especialy if you are an active person. You should eat every 3 hours during the day, to keep your body fueled for maximum energy and strengh.

I check my alarm clock like 6 times before I can sleep then I wake up to recheck it. Same with the doors. Then after i've done this enough to wake my husband up I lay awake and worry about it and try not to move. Drives the poor man crazy!

I guess it's because of your bioclock. You're just used to sleeping in. You will feel drowsy only for a few days once you start getting up early. After that, it'll become routine.

It depends on your computer. Many modern PCs can do this through the BIOS setup. The details depend on your PC. Usually you reboot the computer and you'll see something that says press <DEL> to enter setup. You might see a different key or you might have to consult your manual. Once you are in the BIOS set up, look for something marked RTC Alarm or Wake up on Time. Set the time and enable it, and you should be good to go. I used to have mine wake up at 0730 every morning so when I got to work, it was ready to go.

Hello.  Sleeping from 8am to 6pm means you are sleeping a good number of hours, the only aspect that could be considered as negative would be that your falling asleep at 8am, and not earlier.\n\nI have experienced this before, often during the holidays and I could have sworn I would never escape it, but I did.  I believe that this is mostly a bad cycle that is difficult to get out of.  \n\nI find the best solution is to break the cycle by force.  I would force myself to wake up at the hour I wish to wake up at (10am for example) and even if I had slept only 2 hours I would wake up and get out of bed.  Having slept so little it will be easier to fall asleep earlier the next night, and when you wake up the next morning, you will have slept several hours and should feel more rested.\n\nIts also worth noting that sleeping 10 hours during the day does not have the same rest and recovery effect on your mind and body as does sleeping during night hours.  So while it is difficult, it is worth trying to make the effort to get your body used to sleeping 'normal' hours even if it's difficult at first and takes a couple of sleepless nights to achieve.\n\nRight now I don't have this problem because my job requires me to wake up at 6am so I have had no choice but to get my body used to sleeping at 11pm (even though it was not easy at first).  Nonetheless when I'm on holiday, I automatically start falling asleep later and waking up later, and when the holidays end I have to adapt quickly.\n\nGood luck!
