I am a single parent with two adult working children. We all share the house hold jobs pretty equally. We get up at 6 in the morning weekdays for work. Im a social worker working with families with complex needs. Two days a week im out of the house 13 hours, two I finish at 3 and on Friday I finish at noon. the run to work is about an hour each way for roughly 11 miles (city traffic). I cant think of any job where id be happier, I enjoy it, I put a lot in to it and I get good feed back from clients and bosses. on work mornings I feel too tired to get out of bed and think im not going to be able to do it. at this point I always think I should give in my notice and live on the dole it would be better. its not that im anxious about work, its just I feel so tired I dont think I can get out of bed. I always do get out of bed, have breakfast and cuppa and watch the news. im never late or in a rush. once im out of the house, in the car and then at work im happy and fine. more and more recently though, I feel knackered when I wake up and wonder how I actually get up and ready and out. at weekends I wake up at the same time and have no bother getting up, I dont lie in. If I go to sleep too early I wake up at ridiculous o clock. I dont have alcohol or smoke or eat heavy meals at bed time. its just this thing of hating getting up on work mornings. does anyone have any tips, ideas or advice as to how getting out of bed early in the mornings for work can be made easier?
