* the fact that i have faith in the world that i will encounter somebody new or have somebody currently in my life remind me that life is worthwhile. not in such a blunt fashion but more in things they say and do, and observations of hte world they make. it really is a selfish way to look at it but its true. and it's rarely failed me.

I too go to bed in the morning rather than getting up.
Sometimes I don't get up. At least, not till almost time to go to work. Some days I really am just miserably tired. Others, I'm sad to say I really don't feel there's a point to getting up. Three years struggling to make ends meet takes its toll, especially when it's not how you expected to spend your life.

I hate getting up in the morning. I sleep in until the last possible moment I can before work.
I feel like I'm chronically sleep deprived even when get 8-9 hours of sleep a night. I suspect my body really needs about 10 hours/day but that would be spending almost half my day asleep.
How difficult it is to wake up (when I have to work) partly depends on how much ambient light is in the room. One of those Sunrise clocks is on my wish list.
The other thing is the temperature. During the day from Fall until Spring I am always cold, no matter how many clothing layers I wear. The only time I'm actually at my comfort level of warm is when I'm snuggled under the covers in a cocoon. It does help when Steve raises the temperature to 70 on the thermostat, but I'm still always cold.

The other morning I woke up to my 2-yr-old giving me a romantic little kiss on the lips. . . That's how his Daddy wakes me up. . . . . Someone's gonna have to talk to that boy.

I get up because my dormroom matress hurts if i sleep in too long, cause if i don't finish these classes, I'm never goingto get to do what i REALLY want, and cause i'm tired of wasting time sleeping.

Coffee and work. I usually leave the house at 3:30 to 4:00am, and then go to school until about 6:30pm. Wonderful life. At least I don't work or have school on weekends. Posts: 4229 | Registered: Dec 2002

If I got up in the morning, I guess I'd have a valid answer to the prompt, but being as I awoke at 11:14, I guess I don't.

I get up so I can set my alarm back another half-hour and then go back to sleep.
But really, there's something utterly distressing about those first few minutes after the alarm goes off, when I know I have to get up but my bed is calling, calling to me. Once I'm awake, though, I have no problem -- I even like mornings. (Though, in college I'd sometimes go back to bed for a couple of hours after my first class in the morning.)
I'm thinking of getting a Sunrise clock like AJ mentioned, but I feel guilty buying something that is essentially a light on a dimmer for on the order of $100. Especially if it might not even work very well.

there was a thread on those clocks a while back. They are actually brighter than normal lights, with a wider spectrum. I really do need one come next winter, though now that the days are getting longer again I'm not having as much of a problem. As I recall I found a site online where they were really Cheap.

"Oh! How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning, Oh! How I'd love to remain in bed For the hardest blow of all is to hear the bugler call: 'You've got to get up, you've got to get up, You've got to get up this morning!'"
Someday I'm going to murder the bugler Someday they're going to find him dead I'll amputate his reveille and stomp upon it heavily And spend the rest of my life in bed!
From "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning" Words and Music by Irving Berlin, 1918.
