stop oversleeping

Well I just slept for 24 hours. Personal record of mine, the previous was 21 hours. And I feel horrible, physically and mentally. It sucks.

i don’t think this is ever going to happen…

I think im gonna start keeping a log of how long i sleep each night

Last night i went to bed at two and woke up at nine to turn off my alarm, went back to sleep and woke up again at 11 to answer a phone call, and went back to sleep one last time and woke up at one

So eleven hours

Hi everyone, its nice to know I am not the only who struggles with this. I have always had a hard time waking up in the morning and being on time. Sometimes I will get it right.

what I have noticed about myself

- I oversleep when I have nothing planned for the following morning

- I oversleep when I think I deserve it

- I oversleep when I turn off my alarm (much of the time unconsciously)

- I oversleep when I have something to do that morning that I don’t really want to do

- I oversleep when I tell myself I need at least 9 hours

- I oversleep when I wake up and feel achy and crabby

- I oversleep when I have nothing better to do

I get it right when:

- I have something important to do in the morning

- I occasionally magically wake up early feeling good

- someone else talks to me or wakes me up

- I have 6 or more alarms set

- I set my alarms at least an hour before I need to get up

A little bit about me

- I am very healthy, I eat very well, I exercise enough, I am constantly learning new things to keep my mind active, I have a wonderful relationship with my pre-hubby, I try to go to bed around the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning

This morning for example – I woke up after all my alarms and did get up, I checked my eye (I caught pink eye two days ago) so I didn’t want to go to my leads meeting this morning all goppie, I called the vice president and told him the scoop and then I didn’t know what to do, I wasn’t motivated to do anything or I couldn’t think of anything to do so instead of staying up I crawled back into bed and slept til 10:30am I probably could have slept for another couple of hours (I went to bed last night around 10:30pm) I got up and felt like crap, had a headache and neck and back ache.

This happens frequently I want to get up at 8 am but then when the alarm goes off in my head half asleep I convince myself I don’t need to get up and then I end up sleeping until 10:30 and then I am frustrated because I wasted my morning away

I guess it just takes me sometime to “wake up” and get going and figure out where to begin (I own my own business with two other partners and we all work out of our home – this makes it so easy to go and lay in my bed and take 2 hour naps when I feel like it) Also we are still in our first year of business and sometimes I don’t know what I should be doing, or I am waiting on them to approve something I worked on which leaves me feeling like I don’t know what to do – and then I am at the house so I am distracted by the cleaning that I should do, the grocery shopping, the barking dog so on and so forth.

Long winded post I know, I just want to give you all a clear understanding of my situation.

and made it to work by 8:30! This kind of makes up for oversleeping yesterday and going in to work at 10:00.

Could it be a new beginning?
