Workload just became increasingly heavy this week, and I'm having trouble waking up in the morning?

Any tips you an give me to help me balance my energy levels out evenly, I also take classes as well, and my job is slightly physical demanding I'm standing long hours running back and forth and lifting heavy things (I'm in catering).

Do you know how many hours of sleep your body needs? Everyone is different. Generally 7-9 hours is healthy, I need 7 hours personally, 8 or 9 will make me groggy. And less I will feel drained. But some people need as little as 4 or as much as 10, I think anything more than 10 is unhealthy.

1 hour before bed, turn off all distractions, TV, computer, music, even cell phone (you don't need to turn it off just put it face down and don't touch it, it can wait until the morning). Don't eat too late at night because your body still digests while you sleep so it is using extra energy that it doesn't need to. Brush your teeth with dim lights, and read a novel in bed right before you sleep.

I would have said do a work out... but it sounds to me like you're already active enough with the job.

Perhaps try a book and wind down in bed before crashing. It disengages your mind from the days activities and allows you to fall asleep more readily.

if you can sleep an hour earlier that will help a lot! it makes all the difference seriously.

I don't know, id say get as much rest as u can

I definitely understand, between school, work and the gym I'm not getting much sleep and I'm barely able to wake up

And even when i wake i can barely get out of bed

[ishplump]

That is exactly my problem right now as well... It all starting to become stressful because I'm not like this at all

Yea, it's tough

I'd try to go to sleep earlier but I just don't have the time
