How do you get out of bed in the morning?

catsith March 30th, 2016

Waking up and getting out of bed (especially since I'm a university student and I essentially make my own schedule/study time) is the hardest thing.

Trying to wake up at 9, hitting snooze 12 times and barely rolling over at noon, is a constant struggle. I never want to face the day. I just want to stay wrapped up and asleep where I don't have to exist. but the later I wake, the worse I often feel.

So, tell me, what can I do to get myself up? What do you do to get yourself up?

I wake up from my bed looking at my palm and praying for a minute thanking God for giving me one more day to live.

Looking at the clock and be like 'meh its still 6.45' then i set alarm clock to 7.15. I overslept and its always been 7.45 while my class start at 8.00.

Its just too hard to wake up in the morning and being forced to do somehing you dont want to.

And i always feel like i havent slept since the other day.

By allowing myself time in the morning to be myself, I wake up an hour earlier than I need to so I can play on my phone or get tea. Mostly, I look at the humor section on Pinterest to start my day smiling :)

Horrible all my anxiety I didn't have sleep came back all at one when I woke up. now I'm sitting at the gym in a panic attack.

I don't even know. It's so hard to just fall asleep that getting up is twice as difficult. I'll stay in bed as long as I possibly can without being late for work, mind you I work afternoon - evening shifts so that's a pretty long time. I'll just stare at my ceiling. Sleeping is one of the few times I have to get away from the thoughts that haunt me throughout the day, it's a time when I can escape from tears.

@unassumingwheel7703 I do that too.. I can't wake up immediately.. I lay in bed even if I'm not sleepy.. It's difficult to wake up, I agree :)

@PuppyLove13 it's so hard sometimes. I won't even check my phone or try to see what time it is.

@unassumingwheel7703 ya because checking the time might make you feel guilty.. So you just procrastinate looking at the phone too..

Falling asleep is hard with all those negative thoughts buzzing around in your head. What I do is distract myself from them by reading or making up a story in my head.. I soon fall asleep. Getting out of bed is a challenge every day, but I just remind myself I am a good person and I can take my time, there is no need to rush. Then I manage to get out of bed, enlighten the purpose of life and keep going and enjoy my day. It is hard, but with a little help and support, anyone can do anything they want.
