Sleepy in the morning, Active at night

No matter how I try to reset my sleep routine, mornings make me feel sleepy and unmotivated to do my tasks even if I had a good rest. But at night I feel energized and especially at dawn my mind is so active and I can accomplish my task with great focus.

Maybe your circadian rhythm is off? I've heard sometimes this can happen to people. You might talk to your doctor and ask what options might be available to you.

I'm on here right now because it's 1am and I've been laying in bed for at least an hour trying to fall asleep with no luck, so I feel your pain. I'm stuck in the same rhythm.

No matter how hard I try I can't get myself to wakeup early in the morning or sleep early. I'm more energetic after mid day. It's starting to really affect my performance these days and I don't know if I have a sleeping disorder or if it's all self induced. It's not just you. But if it's not affecting you in anyway then I don't think you should be concerned. Some people are just not morning birds.

Hey wow I thought I was alone here. For me I was just so anxious and frustrated at myself and this situation too. I notice feelings of resentment when I observe people having great mornings and can wake up so early without problems because my thoughts were like “I can never be like them.” But I just told myself that there exists people with different circadian rhythms, there are afternoon jays night owls, I just have to find my own way. And this might not apply to you, but I just acknowledge that I am more calm in the afternoons and middays and respected my body for that, and I just don’t try too hard to make myself sleep if my body can’t really fall asleep. Sometimes I just let myself stay awake and if I got nothing to do tomorrow I will let myself do whatever I wanna do until I feel sleey

I had the same issue all throughout my study. I felt like I could only get work done at midnight. What I ended up doing was an online insomnia CBT course, which really helped me be able to flip it around. The one I did was call This Way Up and it was free. I hope this helps 🙏
