Lately, haven't been able to get out of bed until 930-1030 AM. I feel really empty at this time and can't get motivated to do anything. Several mths ago I was waking up around 530-6 AM and getting out of bed at 8 AM (not that I was doing anything). I don't do much during the day because I've had anhedonia really bad for most of my life (but I have started enjoying things since my last hospital stay in November). I usually get up and go out to buy food/coffee.

Get yourself alarms and start having hobbies.

Routine is very important to me. I do pretty-much the same things, in the same order, every morning. Sometimes they're the last things I want to do. But I just make myself do them. And once I'm into it, it's okay and my day is off to a good start (or at least as good as it can be under the circumstances.)

During the week work causes me to drag myself out of bed, ok most days it feels like that. On weekends I may sign up for grocery pick up or a meetup and it gives my day structure.

Every morning I motivate myself. I get out of bed, do yoga, then take a shower, have a delicious breakfast
Breakfast is the key to a good and productive day.
I believe that every day is special, so you have to live it to the fullest.

I have to get up out of bed for work on Monday through Friday--unfortunately at 4 AM. Then on the weekends I usually sleep in until 6 AM. On Saturdays I am either teaching a religious class or volunteering at my Church by 8 or 9 AM an on Sundays I am at Church by 8:30. So never can rest in the mornings.
