Feeling like turd in the morning?
« on: January 23, 2012, 08:06:27 pm »
Does anyone else feel like turd every time they wake up? I never wake up feeling ready and raring to get out of bed.  :confused:

Any ideas to as why? (and no... i dont sink 10 pints every night  :signLOL: )

Lack of serotonin. Most people suffer from it during the winter, some more than others.

Same here. Apparently its been proven that some people work on different body clocks. It seems that some people genuinely are morning people and some are late risers. They were even allowing a trial of students somewhere to measure the benefits etc..

I can get up at 6am on a Sunday morn to wash the car. But some days I could be in bed till 8 (which for me is late).

A mate I work with suffers with this. SAD I think its called. It does stand for something but can't remember. Something to do with a lack of sunshine lol.

Could also be just down to the amount of sleep your getting vs how tired you are.

Sometimes a desk job can make you a hell of a lot more fatigued by the end of the day than a manual job. It's just you have mental fatigue rather than physical. Sometimes it can be worse and take longer to recover from than physical fatigue.

How fit are you Rich? Do you do any exercise? 30 mins a day can help massively. Something as simple as a brisk walk with a dog if you have one. It will take you a bit to get used too but after 3-4 weeks you will feel the benefits.

If your already quite fit/active then it could be Seasonal Adjustment Disorder (SAD) as has been alluded too above.

Going to bed before 10-30 makes a massive difference to me

Also plenty of exercise helps and NOT staring at a computer screen or tv just before bed. Computer games are a definite no no...

No caffeine, booze is obvious one

As above, good sleep hygiene is essential. Look at your diet too

Carl.. Im 28 but not very fit to be honest, I don't exercise regularly which is something im going to address soon. Im not massively over weight, could do with shedding a stone. I usually go to be between 12 and 2am, so that could be a massive factor.

I always feel at my best in the 2-4 hours before i go to sleep, which is probably why i end up staying up quite late.  :signLOL:

Im glad to hear that im not the only one, its been concerning me over the last 6 months.

There is your main problem. You are going to bed too late 12-2am, hence your body is not really/fully shutting down allowing you to get optimum rest. It is has been established that you are in your deepest sleep at these times.

Also look at your diet as others have said. Not so much about what you eat but the time you eat it.

HTH.
