You should try putting your alarm out of arm's reach so that you physically have to get up to turn it off.

Hi there!!

I think a lot of people are feeling like this at the moment. But I tend to think that this time of year makes you want to just stay in bed anyway!! There is no sunshine. Its freezing cold, snow is causing chaos everywhere. I think once the better weather comes back (?) then we should all be feeling a bit better.

Once the alarm goes off, just get up....Don't even think about it....just do it!!..

Then post a message on here tomorrow to let everyone know that you did it!!... :-)

Night, Night!!!..............

Hi

All the symptoms could be a combination of anything..Medication if you take it, the Winter months ( I get SAD myself) depression/anxiety (if you suffer with that) lifestyle, lacking in Vitamins. I push myself to get up and feel better for it, try different things like regular bed routine, drink more water, sleep and hydration is a massive contribution to health, see how you go, try not to question it too much, if you are worried have a check up with your Gp...

I do the same, I feel that by hiding in bed I can escape the daily grind of coping with my various illnesses, I know that when I get up I will feel like hell because of ongoing issues with IBSc/divertulitis and emphysema just to name a couple, I live on my own and am finding it very hard to motivate myself

I do that same thing and my alarm is across the room I get up and shut it off and go back to bed till noon! I have to start getting up earlier cuz I took on a second job and it requires day shift, the other is a couple hours in the afternoon but I never miss that because it's with horses which I love!!!! Idk maybe it's people I'm trying to avoid
