how do you feel when you wake up in the morning?

[toddzilla]

I generally feel like shit and not rested no matter how much sleep i get.

[LiberalVoice]

1. Same here...

For me its got to do with stress. I wake up feeling good like i've actually gotten rest about 2 times a year, otherwise I wake up feeling as if I barely slept at all.

2. Generally excellent . . .

though I do sort of hate it when I have to wake up to a "gift" of a field mouse, goldfish or frog from our intrepid hunting cat.

3. Any chance you have sleeping disorders?

Or maybe you're depressed?

[toddzilla]

5. yes and yes

just want to know how abnormal it is to feel like crap virtually 100% of the time on waking.

[MissMillie]

9. Well...

I am being treated for both sleeping disorders and depression.

I usually wake up thinking that I should have gone to bed earlier, but by the time I'm out of the shower I'm feeling better.

(Most of the time, I do go to bed too late. On days when I don't have to get up and can wake up w/o the alarm clock, I usually get in 8 hrs. of sleep and get up refreshed.)

4. First thought: Why the fuck does my back hurt!?

I hate my bed.

6. Shot at and missed, shit at and hit.

Like shit in other words. No matter how much sleep I get. I think it's time for a new mattress. Maybe something with quilting on top or something.

Or you could say I feel like a tank ran over me and then backed up a few times ala Clara Barton or whatever her name was.

7. II'm always sad to lose realize it was just a dream

My dream life is extraordinarily superior to my waking existance.

[tsakshaug]

8. confused

my alarm clock is across the room tuned to the most obnoxius radio station possilbe. So I jump out of bed to turn it off....and then wonder where I am and what am I doing here................
then I feel OK, wander down to take a shower and then feel all better-ready to take on the day

[woofless]

10. Hammered shit 'bout covers it.

[MrScorpio]

11. Like shit

Okay... What the fuck is going on here?

[Bouncy Ball]

12. Well first I stand up beside my bed

and then I JUMP into the air several times as high as I can go and shout "YEEEEEEE HAAAAA!!!" a lot.

Then I get dressed and eat a bowl of Raisin Bran. I go outside and shout "HELLO WORLD!!! GOOD MORNING SUN AND SKY AND TREES AND SQUIRRELS!!!"

Then I inhale and exhale really fast to get a head rush. After that, I spin in a circle really hard and fast until I am totally dizzy and I lie down and giggle it off.

That's pretty much it. Then I go to work.

[crispini]

14. Well, we always knew

you were nuts. :P

[crispini]

13. I feel rested, but I also have this extreme inability to get out of bed.

Because this is the only time of day when I can just hang and think and not have to DO stuff all the time. So generally I lie around in bed far too long and wind up rushing around to get out the door.

[Solly Mack]

15. Perky!

I know, I know. I'm one of "those" (hated, much cursed at, and annoying) people.

Alas, it helps being an asshole when you're perky. And yes, there is such thing as a perky asshole.

[flvegan]

16. Like chimps gnawed off my face and testicles.

Not that I know what that feels like.

[samplegirl]

17. Usually

with alot of anxiety! Its no fun!

[CJCRANE]

18. If it's a work day...

I feel like I need 5 more minutes in bed...then another 5 mins...then another...
