WAKE UP!

The first thing you need to do to live a happy life is to simply wake up!
You see a lot of articles talking about how we don't get enough sleep, but what about too much? Although it may be true that most people don't sleep enough at night, I have found that most of my "off " day's all have one thing in common. I slept in too long. Over time I have come to realize I do best with 7 hrs sleep. If I sleep anymore than that I feel groggy, dull, and disconnected from the world. There's an actual term for that foggy feeling called sleep drunkenness! According to medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com It's defined as a prolonged transition from sleep to waking, with partial alertness, disorientation, drowsiness, poor coordination, and sometimes even excited or violent behavior. Wow! A hangover without even drinking! So, if you know you get "plenty" of rest but, are always feeling tired and lacking in concentration you may be sleeping too much. My advice is to set your alarm, get up, and get moving.

If you have a problem with chronic oversleeping, here's a great article on how to stop.http://a-sleep.com/1563/how-to-stop-oversleeping/
