Anyone else feel like they've been dug up from under a stone?

Yes me, definately. I really don't know why. I think it's a combination of the bad weather and having (another) job I hate.

Yeah I get this frequently. I struggle with finding motivation to do a lot of things and getting up is one of them. I think bad weather could be a reason, our house is dark anyway but at this time of year it is really bad.

I get this loads! I sometimes wear excessive layers of pyjamas to bed so that in the morning I wake up boiling and have a strong desire to throw the covers off me!

I think it's because it's so dark when my alarm goes off. It was worse when I was with H, he would stay in bed if he was on a late and I'd be getting up and ready in the dark.

I'm the same, I do a lot of thinking about doing things but struggle to actually do them. I am the worlds worst procrastinator - it's the trait I hate most in myself.

I think the dark mornings are a big factor of my current feeling. Roll on spring

Yep me! I've been having early nights and getting up around 7, not exactly early, and I feel sooooo tired!

You're not alone!

I have so much trouble getting up at the moment and seem to be sleeping really deeply which doesn't help with the waking up process either - espcially when it's the alarm waking me up! I'm sure it doesn't help having a job that I'm UTTERLY FED UP with and which leaves me completley dog tired at the end of each day. The dark mornings don't help either.

I think we should hibernate through winter (by hibernate I mean sleep as long as we like every day - getting up for tea-time and a glass of wine of course!). Who's with me?!!

Yes I sleep really, really deeply. When I wake up I'm all stiff like I haven't moved all night.

I am definitely a summer person. I'm always cold and prefer to be sat in direct heat! Like a lizard on a rock!

I am so with you on the hibernation!

Maybe that's the problem, that you are waking up too suddenly. I have one of those wake up lights that comes on gradually for 30 minutes before my alarm. It makes me feel less groggy when I use it. I think the idea is that it is supposed to mimic sunrise so makes you feel more awake.

I am a summer person too. Bring it on!

I've always struggled to get up. I have a light alarm which makes it miles easier than waking up in the dark.

Totally. Regardless of what time I go to bed I have been waking up at 3.30am (without fail) since starting back on the 6th. It's actually 3.27am (wtf?!) I wake up with a sudden jump and feel really panicky with my heart thumping - it's so strange. I can't go back to sleep afterwards as I start thinking about all the things I need to be doing that day/should have done yesterday, and get myself all worked up. It's horrible, I HATE being tired!

I have a light alarm clock too, and couldn't recommend it enough, it helps so much with dark morning wakings. (Assuming the alarm goes off before the toddler, otherwise you're back to square one.)

Me too.

Ive been feeling really rough recently & very headachey. Not sure whether I'm a bit head coldey or whether it's the change in weather pressure or ???? who knows but I feel tired all the time!

Me too, I've been sleeping way past alarms and I feel physically sick getting up.

I don't sleep too well though and my hips were sore last night and I was awake all night until my alarm was about to go off. I've been risking getting the later bus into work which means if it's late, I'll be late. Which is stupid but I'm struggling to even sit up.

I don't know if it's the way I'm feeling or the weather but the dark mornings don't help!

Yep this describes me perfectly! I struggle to get out of bed at the moment, l am usually good at getting up stupidly early for work but l can barely get myself out of bed late these days. Roll on the lighter mornings and evenings.

Another one with a Lumie light here. The bulb has gone, little man pushed the lamp over and broke it so I'm just waiting for a replacement. I couldn't be without it now, well worth the money.

Welcome to the dark light side jojo! You won't regret it they are awesome!

Ugh me too! I have been struggling with this for over a year, but it is worse in winter. I moved to a new house around then where my bedroom faces north so gets very little sunlight, wonder if this has anything to do with it? I need one of those alarm clocks!
