What’s your reaction when the alarm clock goes off in the morning? Do you automatically hit the snooze button, desperately craving just another 10 minutes peace?

In fact, a new sleep disorder has recently been receiving a lot of coverage. Called Dysania it’s a condition whereby sufferers are so fatigued and debilitated they have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, sometimes staying in bed for days. As yet there are no figures available to reveal how prevalent this condition is but there are certainly aspects of it that link to stress, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome and pain disorders.

Even those of us who don’t suffer from dysania may find that when we’re over-tired or unhappy about our quality of sleep it can lead to us becoming anxious about going to bed and sleeping. A vicious cycle can ensue whereby we become preoccupied and even obsessive about our sleep; how many hours did we get, how often did we wake, how long did it take for us to drift off?

Here are some tips for those times when you struggle to get out of bed in the morning;

- Establishing a regular routine where we aim to go regularly to bed and get up at the same time each day is advisable. Even shift workers, often with erratic patterns and bedtimes, are advised to be consistent and keep to similar times in order to maintain some stability in their sleep patterns and lives. That way their minds and bodies become used to a regular schedule.

– Avoid too much excitement and stimulus, especially before bed. Maintaining a hectic social life may seem fun but it can cause havoc to your sleeping patterns. Try to minimise having too many late nights when you’re working the next day. Keep serious or intense discussions for a more viable, mutually convenient time. It’s often less than helpful to talk through difficult topics when you’re both stressed, preoccupied or concerned about the coming day.

-Manage stress by getting to know your own stress indicators, those warning signs or ‘amber lights’, that happen when you’re starting to feel a little fractured. edgy or off colour. You’ll have your own personal signs that your stress levels are becoming too much for you to handle comfortably and at those times your quality of sleep may well become affected. It may difficult to drift off to sleep, you sleep fitfully, often wakening, or wake in the morning feeling jaded, unrefreshed, and it’s a struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

When you find yourself feeling that way it’s time to schedule some positive breaks and to manage stress levels. Take an hour or even an afternoon for yourself and notice how your performance improves as a consequence. Eat healthy food, drink more water, have a leisurely bath, get into the habit of switching off your technology for a couple of hours before bed. Find ways to start looking after yourself well, manage stress and find that sleep becomes more beneficial as you start to go to bed a little earlier, treating sleep as an important part of your commitment to self-care.

– Get as much daylight and fresh air as you can. Try to take a walk at lunchtime or sit in a park or garden for 20 minutes with a book. Also, some people like to have a lamp that gradually lights up as it introduces them to the day.

– So many of us lead busy lives, cramming as much as possible into each day and then crashing into bed, exhausted, mind racing. By treating sleep as important and finding effective ways to manage stress we can start to become aware of the value of a good night’s sleep and how much it influences our ability to get out of bed in the morning.

– Having a relaxing bath or shower, ensuring you have a cosy, clutter-free bedroom and comfortable bed all demonstrate that sleep is important . If sleep-related issues continue to be an issue consider having a health MOT from your family doctor. But these tips may enable you to deal with some of the symptoms, the irritants, manage stress, get a better night’s sleep and end the struggle to get out of bed in the morning.

How do you expect us to move on with our lives jeez. We should just fold our hands and watch these men run this country into the ground in the name of moving on with our lives?

Good write up. I can attest to the fact that having a consistent sleep schedule works wonders.

My experience.

I've noticed that when I've got meaningful stuff to do, waking up is easy - with only an hour of sleep. But when life's frustrating, I'll wake up exhausted no matter how many hours I sleep - even if the bed is as soft as a new born baby's bum.

When a car's tank is empty, it'll slow to a crawl. Same with the body, tiredness can be a sign of sickness. So malaria drugs at the right time will do wonders.

Lastly, even if everything's perfect, you'll sometimes feel like a snail in the morning. Body no be firewood - just relax and baby yourself once in a while.

I always continue my sleep in the bus.

It's a world we are pushing all the envelope l. Stretching the limites. We want to succeed by all means thereby shifting from the natural things.

The average village woman comes from her farm, She prepare some meal, and before 8pm she is sleeping. That gives her a good head start.

We our mind is preoccupied with success, we sleep but is not deep enough. Then we go to clubs and come back late. Then we try to squeeze out some extra hour of sleep. When it does not work we experience stress. Fall asleep at work. Get yell at,experience some more stress.

All am.saying modern lifestyle hardly support anything natural. Most who are getting good sleep rely sometimes on drug weather achohol or what not.

Check around. It's either pharmacist or churches. We are really sick.

If you have money please go to your village this xmas. Am not talking the semi developed ones, real rural ones. It will help lower your stress, trees, good air, natural food free from fertlizers. Are a good start.

I can't agree less.

DON'T BE LEFT OUT
WHY COMPLAINING OF MONEY
WHILE U CAN STAY AT HOME ND MAKE MILLION UNDER A Month
NOBODY IS BORN TO BE A FAILURE IN LIFE
YOU CAN MAKE IT TOO
FOR YOU TO BE RICH OR POOR IS IN YOUR HANDS

simply go to bed early to get at least 6 hours sleep each night
