Why do you feel so bad when you wake up early?

isn't it normal to feel worse when waking up early? cause not enough sleep.

also, why would one "start thinking about problems" only when going to bed? what did you do the rest of the day?
I just don't have time to think in the day.... I have more than enough tasks to keep occupied. Get free time only as the day draws to an end.
 
If there was even a Lloyd Christmas chance of Ollie looking like Dr. Melfi
My wife, a psychotherapist, met "Dr. Melfi" on the streets of NYC once and they discussed the fact that the two of them do look alike. "Melfi" was very gracious. Wife is in Orlando now visiting her very elderly Uncle Herbie (and daughter attending a conference at The Levin Center) for a few days, told her to search out stringertom to talk some tennis.

Or me to eat with :D

I don’t know of a Levin Center but there is a Rosen Centre hotel with its own conference center right across the street from our mammoth Orange County Convention Center. If she’s at Rosen then she may run into me. I will be out today all afternoon, much of that time being spent at OCCC with the annual dog show (second in size and stature to only Westminster in NYC).

The convention center that's inside the Rosen is huge af, I couldn't believe it
 
OK. Let's just bump every TTW thread starting now.
BTW, please don't forget to send scientific evidence to @TTMR that the Similar Thread panel has nothing to do with it.
Now I am visiting the first in such list, How I control my sleeping patterns?, interesting thread from 2004.
 
Ok guys first of all, I thank each and every one of you for helping, chipping in.

This is the first post that suggests keeping my mind clear before going to sleep, and I shall try that today. Thanks everyone for contributing with their opinions.

Try this. This actually changed my life.
 
There's a boatload of morning chores to be done and you might as well get them done. Then you need a cup of coffee. And might as well take a shower. And then your day starts.

So the obligation to take care of things that need to be done because they're your responsibility.

The way to reduce some of this effort is take-out dinner. At least this works for our family.
 
I don't feel bad when I wake up early because it is usually caused by me going to bed early, usually because I have to catch an early morning flight.

I usually get up at 2 AM for early flights. Just a lot of stuff to do and the airport is an hour away. But it can be two hours away if I leave at 6 AM.

I get sleep metrics from my watch and it tells me the quality as well as the quantity of sleep.

My local smaller airport is only about 30 minutes away, but for some other flights I have to go to the bigger airport which is about 1 hour away. Some international flights I have to wake up about 2 am but for domestic flights I don't have to wake up too early, maybe around 4 am.

I always wake up before the alarm goes off. I don't really need to setup the alarm but I set it up anyway just in case. I always sleep with the same duration and I always know how long I will sleep at night.

Same here. The smaller local airport has been losing business and carriers because the larger airport has more carriers, more direct flights and lower prices.

For waking up, I set two alarms each on an iPad and my phone, so four alarms total to be sure I get up. Sometimes I need them and sometimes I don't.

One thing that helps is that I can sleep on planes.

My local smaller airport is thriving and has just been revamped / enhanced, because it's a popular international and local tourist destination. In the past I have to take my laptop out of my bag in the security screening, but now I don't need to because they have better scanning machines. There are new flights added too from and to new destinations.
