I have the opposite problem. I can't stay in bed past 7 or 8.... I mean, I'm sure it's partly because I'm so used to getting up early during the week, but I have such restless nights of sleep that I absolutely can't wait to get out of the bed in the morning. However, I am often not motivated to do anything. I have found that what helps is that when I step out of bed I go directly into the shower. It really helps to get me going. This morning I actually woke up crying because I knew it was my 1st day to start Lithium and I was depressed and scared. I took the med and went straight into the shower.... before I knew it, I had cleaned the downstairs of the house. I pooped out after that and have yet to touch the upstairs. I have had my share of "wasted Saturdays" and Sundays, too.... still do. But I have found the immediate shower thing to be really helpful.
