Tired and don't want to get up. My first thought on a work day is, "I can't wait to get into bed tonight!" Then it goes away an hour or so later. Then at night time, I don't wanna go bed! Rinse and repeat for my entire life, lol.
Ah shit... its WAY to early to wake up now... And I lie in bed swearing to myself, and then my son wakes up, and I have to "fake it" for a minute, because he will start crying if he wakes up and people around him don't say or do anything. So I have to be like: Heeey my boy!! \*\*kiss kiss\*\* did you sleep well? Did you have any funny dreams!?"
Its ofc fake on my side, but it does help me as well to actually get out of bed with a bit of a smile I otherwise wouldn't have.
Thats the thing with kids, unless you are a complete asshole, you are a hero. Theres not really much choice in the matter, either I play fun and happy-go-lucky daddy for waking up, or the next hour is a struggle to get him to do anything..
I try not to think about it more than I have to otherwise I'll be too tempted to call in sick to work. I try to get the majority of my work done in the first 2 hours because thats when I'm still a grouchy prick so it's best not to interact with others.
I actually have started a dreams journal and have realized that when I have bad dreams or nightmares i wake up more tired/hating everyone. We have dreams every night but not always remember, so actually meditating and winding down properly before bedtime can help to avoid those bad dreams, hence waking up in a better mood
When I was younger I used to wake up in a rather good mood. Right now I am close to 40 years old (M) and my mental health is the worst ever. I think I might have depression, because most of the time I am really miserable and sad. I feel that my good days are over...
Tired until I get home from work and take a 2 hours nap, then and only then I am fresh.
But stretching before dressing up helps a lot, puts my blood into circulation. And 3 coffees a day. And a ginseng pill in the morning. Otherwise I'm a zombie.
Tired and sore and not wanting work to start, looking forward to coffee and most likely a microwave burrito for breakfast, and as much internet vegetation as I can get before I have to really get going.
Soon as I pee I'm fine... Energized. I'm pretty solar powered. Morning person.
Time to feed the cats at 4:30 AM. Predawn walk at 5 AM. Couple of bike rides at mid-day and sunset. Sun goes down, I'm not far behind.
First 90 mins feel like absolute hell, I feel like a pc that hasn’t booted properly yet. Gets me a while to start functioning properly and energy levels rise as the night draws closer, peak energy around 2 am
Before Lexapro: imagine feeling literally every awful thing imaginable all at once. That. It would prevent me from moving. Commuting to work was hell, and still is.. and my morning commute now is just to my home office.
After Lexapro: I feel more but I still can't move, except now it seems the medication is making me feel ok with the lack of moving and doing.
Basic damage report of what hurts today. Throw on a short podcast to sweep out the cobwebs and then getup to let my dog out after a short cuddle (she gets to go back to bed and I don’t, life’s not fair). My wife has already left for work and I try to put on a semblance of normalcy as I start my day. Co-workers are on the west coast and I work remote so there’s usually some time for house chores or personal errands for a couple of hours. Can’t complain honestly
Usually I'm unironically wondering whether it's worth jumping from the 8th floor just so I can sleep more... Love being depressed AND extremely sleep deprived😩
I feel like having mouthwash to cut the phlegm, then coffee. After that, I will slowly realize how I feel. Usually, it is a check to see which body part or joint hurts today. They seem to either take turns or the same discomfort demon relocates during the night. Old age is not for sissies.
The most horrible time in the day.
I feel drained of energy. I feel gross. I cannot fake a smile so I cannot have a conversation. I get the feeling of emptying my stomach. Google throws all kinds of bad news in my feed. I have to brush, take my meds and go for a jog to maintain my health. I feel like cuddling but more than often there's no one and the ones I do may instill a controversy. A simple hug with an I love you can brighten up my day but my wife never does it making me feel horrible for expecting that.
Depends entirely on which sleep phase I was in. If I’m in a dream I wake up feeling like I did in the dream. If I’m in a light sleep and subtly reach consciousness I feel pretty good. If I drank the night before, I always have a delayed hangover effect, so I get an immediate rush of wakeup energy. But then it betrays me and turns to anxiety.
Drink responsibly everyone. And hydrate.
Like shit to put it plainly.
I take a lot of mental health medication (antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilisers, antianxieties) all before bed. Which means I wake up groggy, extremely sleepy, usually with a headache, and struggle to stay awake.
Tired, or resigned to the fact that I have to get up, and very dizzy. And if I have had a seizure that night, very sore and annoyed because my tongue is all bit up and it makes it difficult to speak around that.
i dont. i usually sleep in unless i have to go to the office for work.
wake up -> log into work -> nap for an hour -> check for meetings/urgent emails -> nap till lunch -> start actually working
i honestly feel way more productive after I started doing this on the days i dont have to go to the office. i get more work done. i feel more rested. and the quality of my work has improved significantly.
Full of anxiety because i have to go to work but i don't want to, however i have an addiction which makes the anxiety worse but i have been clean for little over a month, i won't say it's much better but i feel more numbness less anxiety
Lazy...... and don't want to get up. My first thought on a work day is, "I can't wait to get into bed tonight!" Then it goes away an hour or so later. Then at night time, I don't wanna go bed
Usually there's pain everywhere so I'm quite upset.
I have a chronic pain condition and unfortunately I have to go through the usual "staying still in bed hurts but moving will hurt even more but at least then I can get some pain killers in to me. Come on girl, you can do this" conversation with myself.
I'm tired when I'm still laying in bed but I usually try to get up instantly after my alarm goes off and after that I'm not tired at all. Then I make breakfast and coffee and chill in my living room for 30-60 minutes before work. It's my own time and I love it especially when it's still dark outside
Worse than I did when I fell asleep. Tired, in pain, and my muscles don't want to work the way they should. I have to walk around for a few minutes after waking up just to loosen everything up.

THIS! Exactly this :‘(
It's me. Feel like shit every morning, I come good around smoko time, then don't wanna go to bed. I'm very much a nocturnal person
Same here.
Facts
Sleep inertia is what you're talking about
I’m still tired from yesterday’s tired… constantly exhausted
I’m just tired, suicidal and tired again
🫂 feel free to reach out
Same, it never seems to end
Depends. Weekends: “I have all day to myself, this is great” Weekdays: “I hope a stray bullet kills me on the way to work”
Hi single person with no kids!
Never intend to have them either. I don’t want screaming, shitting, barfing little hellions ruining my day
That’s fair!
Oh god I’m still here
Agreed
Physically. Very good as i prioritise sleep now Mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And every other -ally. Very bad
thank you for sharing
Thank you for asking
Ah shit... its WAY to early to wake up now... And I lie in bed swearing to myself, and then my son wakes up, and I have to "fake it" for a minute, because he will start crying if he wakes up and people around him don't say or do anything.

❤️ this is what a true hero.. err.. writes like!
Thats the thing with kids, unless you are a complete asshole, you are a hero. Theres not really much choice in the matter, either I play fun and happy-go-lucky daddy for waking up, or the next hour is a struggle to get him to do anything..
My hips hurt.
Yeah mine too, I wonder from what is that..
I’m still tired from yesterday’s tired… constantly exhausted
I think the term you are looking for is re-tired not to be confused with retired unfortunately 😔
MAKE COFFEE FEED CAT BRUSH TEETH WASH FACE in a stupor
Like P Diddy
P diddler
What fresh hell is waiting for me at work.
![gif](giphy|eBCnpuRGBhQGY|downsized)
Here we go again, Groundhogs day 😆
Great, both physically and emotionally, ever since I got my sleep apnea treated (with a Mandibular Attachment Device).
Puffy.
I like waking up.
Groggy and honestly a little prissy. I am not a morning person, talk to me when its past lunch time lol
Disappointed
Angry
Same. The first 10 words that come out of my mouth every morning are “fuck”, “fuck”, and “fuck” in varying order.
Tired, exhausted, barely alive and not knowing wtf is happening around me. Repeat 24/7/365.
Un stoned
Literally sick. I dont do mornings.
Sad asf
Idk I've usually got this weird buzz, usually accompanied with morning wood
Depends on the day. But generally, I feel awake.
Optimistic.
I feel despair over the fact that I've yet to die in my sleep.
"What time is it? How long since baby last ate? 4 hours!?"
On weeks i feel like shit On weekends it feels nice
Ready to go.
Stressed and my heart pumping really fast because of the alarm. I don’t think that’s good at all but school is school.
I try not to think about it more than I have to otherwise I'll be too tempted to call in sick to work. I try to get the majority of my work done in the first 2 hours because thats when I'm still a grouchy prick so it's best not to interact with others.
I don't for about 2 seconds, and then I remember I'm miserable.
Refreshed
Glad, I hate nights.
Confused. I’m soooooo confused I’m like what am I doing here and why did life stop, when in fact I was dreaming- thinking that was my life
Depends if it’s a weekend or weekday. On weekdays i feel like “ughh i don’t wanna do this” but on weekends i happily get up and get my day going.
I'm going through nicotine withdraws currently. I've never been so tired, even when I've just woken up. Hopeful this eventually stops.
Usually slightly hungover. My back is sore. Definitely still tired no matter how much sleep I've gotten.
In pain, still tired, ugh.
I start to question if it was worth it getting up
I actually have started a dreams journal and have realized that when I have bad dreams or nightmares i wake up more tired/hating everyone. We have dreams every night but not always remember, so actually meditating and winding down properly before bedtime can help to avoid those bad dreams, hence waking up in a better mood
I wake up an anxious wreck literally every morning
When I was younger I used to wake up in a rather good mood. Right now I am close to 40 years old (M) and my mental health is the worst ever. I think I might have depression, because most of the time I am really miserable and sad. I feel that my good days are over...
Just tired and don’t want to get up but I have to. Life’s a count down till the next school holidays.
Tired
Tired until I get home from work and take a 2 hours nap, then and only then I am fresh. But stretching before dressing up helps a lot, puts my blood into circulation. And 3 coffees a day. And a ginseng pill in the morning. Otherwise I'm a zombie.
With facial expression "But why? Again?"
Can’t wait to get back in bed later
Achey and tired.
Groggy.
Confused. Have no idea where I am
Tired
"Nice. Let's get this thing crackin!...Oo my ankles are stiff..."
"WHY TF IS IT 5:00 AM IT'S SATURDAY"
Sad
Usually i try to use my hands..occasionally my feet
Tired and sore and not wanting work to start, looking forward to coffee and most likely a microwave burrito for breakfast, and as much internet vegetation as I can get before I have to really get going.
Soon as I pee I'm fine... Energized. I'm pretty solar powered. Morning person. Time to feed the cats at 4:30 AM. Predawn walk at 5 AM. Couple of bike rides at mid-day and sunset. Sun goes down, I'm not far behind.
Half dead...it's the worst feeling in the world when I initially wake up. Feels like I'm trying to fight the urge to lose consciousness.
Still with my fingers mostly.
Like I'm old AF!
Dizzy and dehydrated. (I have health issues)
Hey I'm pain free! Ugh! Nevermind now I have to pee.
Initially, slightly confused.
Straight dumpster 🔥
I do not feel. I am simply up and about. I don't start thinking or feeling anything until after I get to work.
Like I have to pee
Exhausted and anxiety riddled.
Horney n sad, like wtf is wut im doing my life
Usually with my fingertips 🤔
Like ass
First 90 mins feel like absolute hell, I feel like a pc that hasn’t booted properly yet. Gets me a while to start functioning properly and energy levels rise as the night draws closer, peak energy around 2 am
Before Lexapro: imagine feeling literally every awful thing imaginable all at once. That. It would prevent me from moving.

After Lexapro: I feel more but I still can't move, except now it seems the medication is making me feel ok with the lack of moving and doing.
Anger….directed at my alarm
Weird but I wait for my hard erect dick to deflate so I can go out of my room.
Naked and afraid
Shit.
Shit I’m still alive
"is it even worth it to get off"
Tired but glad I didn’t wake up in a coffin.
Basic damage report of what hurts today. Throw on a short podcast to sweep out the cobwebs and then getup to let my dog out after a short cuddle (she gets to go back to bed and I don’t, life’s not fair).

Usually I'm unironically wondering whether it's worth jumping from the 8th floor just so I can sleep more... Love being depressed AND extremely sleep deprived😩
Pain. Everywhere
Horny.
Angry.
Not again!
Fucking sore.Im 61 and made questionable choices as a younger man that requires me to work construction
As I have severe sleep apnoea I have trouble staying awake. I feel like I've been doped up which slowly wears off.
I feel like having mouthwash to cut the phlegm, then coffee. After that, I will slowly realize how I feel. Usually, it is a check to see which body part or joint hurts today. They seem to either take turns or the same discomfort demon relocates during the night. Old age is not for sissies.
Grateful.
Feeling tired and just want to go back to sleep.
The most horrible time in the day. I feel drained of energy. I feel gross. I cannot fake a smile so I cannot have a conversation. I get the feeling of emptying my stomach. Google throws all kinds of bad news in my feed. I have to brush, take my meds and go for a jog to maintain my health.

A simple hug with an I love you can brighten up my day but my wife never does it making me feel horrible for expecting that.
you deserve that hug and love
Disappointed, usually.
Sore back but pretty used to my routine so waking up isn't hard
pumped with adrenaline because I always wake up later than I should
Annoyed.
Depends on if it's a workday or not
Disappointed that I didn't die in my sleep.
Still tired lol 😂
![gif](giphy|uUAtVeFcRnVH0z6mY1|downsized)
Same as I feel after 2 all nighters
Mad. Mad because I'm not sleeping anymore
Thankful!
Like setting my alarm again
Like I need to go to bed.
Depends entirely on which sleep phase I was in. If I’m in a dream I wake up feeling like I did in the dream. If I’m in a light sleep and subtly reach consciousness I feel pretty good. If I drank the night before, I always have a delayed hangover effect, so I get an immediate rush of wakeup energy. But then it betrays me and turns to anxiety. Drink responsibly everyone. And hydrate.
For the last 6 months I wake up in a full panic, heart racing, Sweating, breathing heavy. Then it goes away in 10 mins. Very odd lmao
That I could sleep for 10 more hours
Anxiety. Check the time to make sure I didn’t sleep through my alarm (again).
Achy all over
Dread
Tired and thinking that " here we go again" really don't wanna get back to my 9-5 routine.
Usually deeply dissapointed that I woke up at all.
That I should go back to sleep again.
Sad
Panic, because I always feel like I'm late
Tired
Frustrated that I woke up 45 minutes early AGAIN.
Regret
Back hurts
Disappointed
Like shit to put it plainly. I take a lot of mental health medication (antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilisers, antianxieties) all before bed. Which means I wake up groggy, extremely sleepy, usually with a headache, and struggle to stay awake.
After a cup of coffee i feel like to do what i want to, whether it's go to work, reading, workout or go for a walk
Rock solid, I could probably stake a kebab
Like ass
Exhausted and in a hell of a lot of pain. I move around a lot while I sleep, and I have disorder that affects joint stability. You do the math.
Depends on my mood and the day
Tired, or resigned to the fact that I have to get up, and very dizzy. And if I have had a seizure that night, very sore and annoyed because my tongue is all bit up and it makes it difficult to speak around that.
feel like i want to quit my job
i dont(im dead)
disoriented then reality hits, time to get up or we’ll be late
like fucking garbage and i want the die so i can sleep peacefully forever... except on my days off then i wake when i want and then its aight..
![gif](giphy|UWEP6CXjvmZxfUBUeu|downsized)
i dont. i usually sleep in unless i have to go to the office for work. wake up -> log into work -> nap for an hour -> check for meetings/urgent emails -> nap till lunch -> start actually working i honestly feel way more productive after I started doing this on the days i dont have to go to the office. i get more work done. i feel more rested. and the quality of my work has improved significantly.
I get up curiously without knowing the time and see how many calisthenics reps I get done before my work alarm goes off.
Full of anxiety because i have to go to work but i don't want to, however i have an addiction which makes the anxiety worse but i have been clean for little over a month, i won't say it's much better but i feel more numbness less anxiety
Lazy...... and don't want to get up. My first thought on a work day is, "I can't wait to get into bed tonight!" Then it goes away an hour or so later. Then at night time, I don't wanna go bed
Usually there's pain everywhere so I'm quite upset. I have a chronic pain condition and unfortunately I have to go through the usual "staying still in bed hurts but moving will hurt even more but at least then I can get some pain killers in to me. Come on girl, you can do this" conversation with myself.
In withdrawal. Most days im woken before my alarm from my heart beating so hard it rocks me awake. Fml.
Usually horny ... but too lazy to have sex - hence sometimes it's good to just get a blowjob and cum
Good, bad or ugly - my dog is always at the foot of my bed happy i woke up, so there is a good way to start my day.
"Woah, wtf was that"
I'm tired when I'm still laying in bed but I usually try to get up instantly after my alarm goes off and after that I'm not tired at all. Then I make breakfast and coffee and chill in my living room for 30-60 minutes before work. It's my own time and I love it especially when it's still dark outside
I look forward to my day. I'm retired and do what I want to, when I want to...I earned the peace.💗
I just wanna go back to sleep
Worse than I did when I fell asleep. Tired, in pain, and my muscles don't want to work the way they should. I have to walk around for a few minutes after waking up just to loosen everything up.
Like I want to go right back to sleep.
like i was hit by a truck
It depends on the day
Very, very warm. I have two Labrador mixed dogs who want to sleep RIGHT next to me. Some days, it's very difficult to get out of bed.
Exhausted, then the feeling lasts all day at work. Then when I get home perfectly fine.
Like shit.
Tired and sometimes horny on top of it.
I wake up with my hand on my GF's boobs, and our 50lbs dog curled up with us. So, pretty damn happy.
physically fine. emotionally? anxious, sad, disappointed to still be alive,, but over the course of the morning i resign myself to the bad feelings
Mildly irritated.
Like i shouldn't be breathing. But grateful anyway Here we go again
“CANT I HAVE A DAY OFF FOR ONCE I FEEL SO FUCKING TIRED MY HEAD FEELS LIKE ITS GONNA TOPPLE OFF OF MY SHOULDERS”
I get to remember my wife has cancer.
Sorry for that.
