I feel really bad in the morning when I get up. I feel so down but then get better as the day goes on. I think getting more sleep would help me.

It takes me forever to wake up, I'm still sleeping after I've been working for four hours.

I thought I was just imaging it but once I get up I feel so low ,I ache all over feel like Im going to collaspe but 2 hours later I feel better to cope with what the day has ,until somebody or something gets me down again .Does anybody ache all over in the mornings ?? Have mentioned to my Doctor and she reckons its stress from a restless night but the pain makes me feel like I am 90 and I have 2 young kids to get ready for school so I have to function ,at weekends when I lie in a little longer I wake up still feeling the same way so its not lack of sleep :-(

When I go to bed, I get horrible foot & leg cramps...not so much lately as I did during the summer. Can't get to sleep then when I finally do, end up with nightmares.....& all too often, I wake up with an impending feeling that something bad is going to happen.....could be my caregiving mode for my elderly eskie dog.....but something bad always happens when I get that.

Bed is a nice place because Leo & Tawny always end up right text to me.....& it's a comfortable bed....but I hate the way I wake up & yes, I need a hot shower to get my body moving no matter what time I get up from the bed.

I more times than not....end up cat napping at my computer, then go to bed around 4-5am....then get up whenever the body feel like it so I can have some level of energy.......but without my hot shower before getting my day going...no matter what time......& a hot shower before going to bed especially if I have worked at doing anything during the day......never realized how sore my back would end up after fracturing it last year.

Worst thing is that because of how bad I end up feeling with going to bed & getting up, there are times when I go days without really going to bed....& I end up exhausted & then just collapse then I can sleep for 12+ hours.

The other night I was afraid I wouldn't get up to get my property tax payment in early that morning after missing their closing time by 10 minutes the night before....the deadline for the discount payment....so I just stayed up all night....when I got home after making the payment which they graciously took at the discount amount....I crashed in bed & slept until 4pm.

I really need to get things done around here & being exhausted from not sleeping & not eating well......doesn't get the things done that I need.....really frustrating & really get frustrated at not being able to control my sleeping better....even with sleep aids.....they work great if I can just get myself to go to bed in the first place.....but still get the nightmares & waking up feeling like something bad is going to happen....sleeping good doesn't change that.....which was what I was hoping it would do

I started having trouble "getting going" after I turned 45 I think. Anyway, I'm 51 now, and I'm esp. stiff in my knees, ankles, and feet in the a.m. I have to do a few gentle stretching exercises before I can even do my morning routine. I'm healthy, and I know I get enough sleep--though I don't sleep as soundly as I did when I was younger. I used to wear a splint on my calf for a previous foot problem, and I found out my feet feel better in the a.m. when I wear it. Might have start wearing it again, though it's not comfortable. I do feel better as the day goes on, with the stiffness going away. I also get it if I sit too long, something that didn't happen in my youth.
