Having a glass of water just as you wake up can help with feeling less tired and help you feel more refreshed. Doing stretches also helps you loosen up and wake up. Showering in the morning helps as well. Though too much sleep can also be a bad thing -- so that might be it. Try setting an alarm for a bit earlier? And see if that helps.

It sounds like you're not getting good quality sleep. Are you sleeping in total darkness (can't see your hand in front of your face)? In a cool, quiet room? Are you worried about something, having nightmares? These things can all affect your sleep quality. Systematically examine each environmental and emotional factor affecting your sleep and makes changes where needed. If the problem persists, consult with your doctor. There are many medical conditions that can cause you to feel sluggish and exhausted, such as hypothyroidism. Or you may be depressed. A doctor can rule out a variety of conditions to help you pin point where the problem lies.

Start with small changes to your diet and watch what you are doing just before bed. Sometimes we get super exhausted in the mornings when we've been on our phones or any other tech before bed. Try to stay away from it for at least an hour before going to sleep. Caffeine can be another sneaky monster to look out for, reducing your intake can do wonders.

You could try and drink plenty of water to your b rain isn't too dehydrated/exhausted. Furthermore, it is a reccomended minimum of 7 hours and maxmum of 8-9 hours of sleep for teenagers and young adults, any more or any less and you will end up feeling tired.

There are actually some really great phone apps (if you have access to them) that can wake you up during lighter sleep phases. If you don't have a smartphone or computer you can use - and this might sound counter-intuitive - try getting up a little earlier to take some time for yourself outside of getting ready. Read a little, or even do a little chore. You can also try waiting an hour to an hour and a half to have tea or coffee, it'll give you a little pick-me-up once your immediate wake-up energy starts to run out.

I feel the same way almost every morning, especially now that winter is setting in. My fix is always downing a huge glass of water, as soon as my alarm goes off.

When you get up, make sure you eat breakfast to get your mind going. Getting a schedule together will help with workflow and start your day off or you can ask a friend to meet up with you. Get moving will help!

It could be that you're sleeping too much, which can cause you to be tired. Or, it could be that you have a sleeping disorder, such as sleep apnea, which is when you stop breathing in your sleep and wake up several times (very briefly) throughout the night because of this. Or, it could be linked to another disorder, such as depression, as that is one of the symptoms.
