I just want to stay in bed until I feel a more appropriate hour to wake. In the morning, you really cannot reason with me. I have tried focusing on the positives of getting up, but that only works while I am awake. What I find is, the earlier I get up, the less I feel like myself and in turn feel depressed and anxious. It really doesn't matter if I get too much sleep, not enough sleep, etc. There is something about getting up early that makes me feel icky. I really do prefer the night time and missing out on sunrise and sunlight don't make me feel bad, but actually is what I prefer. I really struggle with getting up in the morning. With good organization we can change, obviously only if you want to. I was a night owl and I had to do a routine or schedule to change because I needed to study more. I agree that a night owl can be a morning person. But when it comes to school I absolutely hate getting up. I tend to get up in the morning when it is something that I want to do. I usually end up falling asleep even though I am well rested, only to "restart" my cycle of getting up at 10 am, my natural time. Sometimes I am successful, but only temporarily, and while I am up at the more "acceptable" waking hours, my mind just isn't as quick as it is when it is 1 am. I have tried everything, to no avail, to change my circadian rhythms. I think if you are a true night owl, there is no conversion to being a morning person. I set 3 or 4 alarms and still sleep till 9am 10am sometimes even 11am It feels like I'm at war with myself, and in the morning I always have a good excuse to go back to bed after the alarm goes off, feels like nothing is more important than sleeping it feels right and I just do it I would like to be able to just wake up in the mornings without even hesitating so I don't have to work until 10pm and get done what I was supposed to get done by 4 or 5pm I am a very optimistic person, when it comes to doing my job, I like to do it right and I like to do it fast, because time is money I started as a handyman in 2015 doing one or two small jobs per week, by the end of 2015 I was taking on bigger jobs and staying busy all week sometimes even working through the weekends I understand the frustration and feel the pain, by not getting up when you should, missing out appointments not being on time to drop your kids off at school and feeling guilty for not doing so.
