Why is getting up for work in the morning harder than getting up early when it is your day off?

because when you have nothing to do, you know you can wake up early and then just go back to sleep without a care in the world

I have always found night shifts better, because I can still get things done around town before I go to work in the afternoon/evening.  When you work days, everything is closed when you are at home.  Also, when you work days you have to get up at the alarm regardless of how tired you are.  When I work nights, I get up when I have had enough sleep.  I don't try to adjust my body to the clock, I work the clock to me when I am on nights.

Im one of the people that you'd probably be talking about - in an ideal world yes it would be nice to be more friendly - but in reality?  Most people wake up in the morning and are not happy with having to go to work - therefore the number one goal is to get through the day with as little effort as possible - and that includes making the effort to be pleasant unfortunately.  Maybe other people have their own reasons but thats mine.

Hello.  Sleeping from 8am to 6pm means you are sleeping a good number of hours, the only aspect that could be considered as negative would be that your falling asleep at 8am, and not earlier.\n\nI have experienced this before, often during the holidays and I could have sworn I would never escape it, but I did.  I believe that this is mostly a bad cycle that is difficult to get out of.  \n\nI find the best solution is to break the cycle by force.  I would force myself to wake up at the hour I wish to wake up at (10am for example) and even if I had slept only 2 hours I would wake up and get out of bed.  Having slept so little it will be easier to fall asleep earlier the next night, and when you wake up the next morning, you will have slept several hours and should feel more rested.\n\nIts also worth noting that sleeping 10 hours during the day does not have the same rest and recovery effect on your mind and body as does sleeping during night hours.  So while it is difficult, it is worth trying to make the effort to get your body used to sleeping 'normal' hours even if it's difficult at first and takes a couple of sleepless nights to achieve.\n\nRight now I don't have this problem because my job requires me to wake up at 6am so I have had no choice but to get my body used to sleeping at 11pm (even though it was not easy at first).  Nonetheless when I'm on holiday, I automatically start falling asleep later and waking up later, and when the holidays end I have to adapt quickly.\n\nGood luck!

it all depends on the company but mostly 1st is morning to afternoon 2nd is afternoon to night and 3rd is night to morning. second shift is not the best of them as you are awake during the night and then sleep all day so its a lot harder to get stuff done but if you like the night life its not so bad i like 3rd but im a night owl.

They say it's better to exercise in the morning ...simply because it does give you a boost of energy...and that's harder to deal with at night when you're trying to go to bed.\n\nI used to go to the gym at night and I'd have a hard time winding down afterward...but every body's different.\n\nFrankly...whether you're exercising morning noon or night...your already a step ahead of over half the population...so do it when you want to..but just keep doing it.

I wake up at 6am everyday, and I usually wake up before my alarm goes off because I hate the sound of it. Some days I'm more awake than others, so on those days I just take it slower than normal.

Everyone has those days.  Some more than others.  Weather has a lot to do w/ it.  If you notice, you are peppier on sunny days vs gloomy days.  If its rainy and yucky out, chances are, its a struggle to get out of bed.

If you run before work, it will make your day a whole lot better. Your body will release indorfins and they will make you happier throughout the day. Exercise always just makes you feel good, so I would deffinatly do it in the morning.

Well, stay up and try to finsh it tonight. Don't stay up too late trying to finsh it because then you will be tried tomorrow. Get up early and work on it. And work on it at lunch. You have more time then you think. If you work hard I know you can finsh. good luck!

It is because of the less energy in your body . You might be doing hard work during the day and wouldn,t be having sufficient diet and exericise according to your age .

By exercising  in the morning as soon as you get up, you lose 3 times more fat than at any time during the day. More information at http://www.toloseweight.org/exercisetolosefat.html

I disagree - Here's why: \nMonday is probably the WORST day.  I have worked in dozens of different companies & can tell you experience.   BUT then Monday MAY be the day that the HR person may search for fresh applications.  I suspect it depends on the company.  \n\nFor ME personally, I prefer morning, BUT remember, the HR person on the other end may NOT be a morning person.  \n \nActually, there IS a way to find favorable dates to apply for job, send in your resume, and finding other dates to do all sorts of things.   I used the dates on http://www.AstroWishes.com  Look for their link on the page titled "Job Market - Astro StarGuide." \n\nGood luck & much success in your journey.

You might have your sleeping times screwed up. I do mornings better if I get to bed by 10:00, then I get sleepy again the next night around the same time.

I know, i hate that, i think it is because u are used to getting up, and going to sleep at the same time, ur body needs to adjust, like the first day off of school for example.

i noticed that i would get up really early for an early shift at work (ie- when i absolutely had to be there or else bad consequences)and had a hard time rousing myself other times when it was something i wanted to do for me.  try multiple... i mean MULTIPLE loud alarms 4 minutes apart.  it gave me the sense of being bugged to get up urgently.  also having a light on in the house helps, like the bathroom light that you can see from bedroom door.  once up and moving i'm not too bad.... and think of a treat you'd get up for, like a good coffee, shower, going out for breaky.  it took me 6-12 months to be good in the mornings... but i guess the main thing is that i decided i had a life i wanted to live, not sleep through.  and yes, there is much to do, and i tell myself if i'm really that tired, i can take a break and a quick catnap later on.... but i seldom need it.   also getting fitter and healthier helped, ensuring i do at least 150mins of cardio a week ( and that used to sound impossible to me), and make sure you do get a good night's sleep at least 5 nights a week.  don't stuff sleep around... it really is sooooo important and undervalued.  don't motivate yourself with things you HAVE to do...what are you doing them for? to create a life you love? to make your life easier?to make you happier? "because you have to" or to please others is enough to keep anyone from getting up and starting their day.  remind yourself that you really WANT to get up and be active. upon waking, tell yourself you reaaly LOVE your life... and fake it until you make it.  good luck.
