Tired or Burnt Out?

Some mornings are harder than others, but as long as I can still get myself out of bed I'm content.

This summer I started noticing little things with my sleeping habits and they are so hard to change! I guess once a bio-clock is developed, it is hard to make even the slightest adjustments unless determination is sufficient. 

Every night before I go to bed, I would tell myself that tomorrow is a new day and that I will wake up bright and early to start a productive day. But guess what, rarely does that happen, and I often find myself staying in bed until at least 1 hour after when I set my alarm at. 

What goes inside my head during the hour of laziness are all kinds of justifications - "I have more time later" or "I don't start work until the afternoon anyway" or even "What's the point to be out of bed now?" Sometimes I even go to the extend to think I'm sick so I can stay in bed longer. 

I think it's time for me to make some changes because this is not okay. 

But what about being burnt out? 

Being burnt out is a situation I find myself in almost too often, and yes, it does also contribute to the tiredness and laziness in the morning. A whole lot of situations popped up this summer unexpectedly and having to deal with almost all of them alone...I found myself experiencing mood swings and being pessimistic at times. 

It almost feels like I could have anxiety issues at times, which triggered this post I'm typing up. Hopefully in the process of writing up about what I'm experiencing, I can help myself understand more about what's going on...It really is the only way to force myself to think and collect my thoughts. 

I started having restless nights where I would be dreaming about stressful ongoing events (is this even still dreaming..?!). Is this something I have control over? 

I keep telling myself to think about one thing at a time, stop worrying about everything all at once - It's definitely easier said than done, but I will keep trying and go by that because if I don't...my poor little brain might to decide to explode someday. 

What am I going to do to improve this feeling of being burnt out and tired? 

Here's my plan: 

I will try to go to bed early each day and stick to my alarm in the morning. 

A simple goal first. Baby steps. 

Hopefully I won't randomly fall asleep in the middle of anything again...That picture was taken Christmas of 2015 with my lovely family and me sleeping...(or dying of coldness maybe?) 

Cheers,
