What Causes Difficulty In Waking Up In The Morning?

For a couple of years now, I ve had extreme difficulty waking up. It s not that I lack motivation. I want to get up every morning when my alarm clock goes off, but it feels like I m not in control of my own body. No matter what my attitude is or how many hours I have slept I can t get out bed unless I wake up naturally. I ve tried melatonin, a set sleep schedule, leaving my blinds open to wake up to natural light, and having others wake me up but regardless mornings still leave me half asleep for hours after I get out of bed. When I do get to naturally wake up I sleep anywhere from 10-16 hours, but then remain awake for at least another 12 or 14 before I can fall asleep again. Have you ever heard of anything like this?

Hello,

The issue is of subclinical depression due to many reasons, the major one being alterations in the neuronal amines.

Counselling with the psychologist is a must to proceed further.

Till that time, meditations and YOGA will support you great.
