Waking up early seems like a simple habit but not everyone can do it. There are many reasons why it is difficult for you to get up early, it may be due to the nature of work, habits or medical conditions.
1. Reasons why you can't get up early
1.1 Dysania Dysania is a term for not being able to get up in the morning. This is a disorder that can be seen in patients with major depression. Dysania is not yet medically recognized but is still widely used.
More than just feeling like you want to "sleep in" more than usual, dysania is a prolonged inability to get out of bed. Patients may lie in bed for days, afraid to wake up, and want to go back to bed as soon as they leave. Dysania is often a sign of an underlying medical condition such as chronic fatigue syndrome or depression, but is rarely used as a separate disease. If the doctor finds no other symptoms, the person may simply have difficulty getting up early, rather than having dysania.
1.2 Irregular biological clock Another reason why it is difficult to get up early is because the biological clock is not working properly. There are many people who consider waking up early to be a torture. They find it difficult to get up early, find it difficult to catch up on the work of the day, and even have trouble falling asleep at night. This has destroyed the rhythm of daily life. Sleeping too late or too little makes waking up very difficult.
Australian scientists have studied early stage sleep disorder syndrome. This syndrome is common in adolescents aged 15-18 years old and is associated with puberty and hormonal changes in the body. The cause of this condition is thought to be because the body's internal biological clock is not in sync with the circadian rhythm. Patients need more than 24 hours to complete a circadian cycle, resulting in going to bed 2-3 hours later than the average person. The result is a series of "rhythm errors" between the body's biological clock and the circadian rhythm after waking up.
2. How to overcome difficulty getting up early
Whatever the cause, getting into the habit of sleeping on time will help you solve your waking problems. These methods include:
Schedule a fixed bedtime. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to keep your body clock in check. Avoid substances that disrupt sleep such as caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine. Limit naps. Napping too much will make it difficult to sleep at night. If you really need a lunch break, try to sleep for less than 30 minutes. Create an easy-to-sleep space in the bedroom. Limiting light, noise as well as lowering the temperature in the room will help you fall asleep easier. Avoid technology devices at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Using phones, computers, and televisions will cause stimulation, making it more difficult to sleep. If your condition is difficult to get up early for a long time, affecting your life and work, it is best to go to medical facilities for examination and timely intervention.
