hmmm, i have that problem. i've been told a million different things by a million different doctors who are mostly full of it. just make sure you don't have sleep apnea, that's actually dangerous. for me, it's my damn restless mind that won't let me sleep deeply, simple as that.

Answer 2

Drink an amazing cup of coffee :P

I don't really know though. I haven't slept in 14 hours and it doesn't look like i'll be sleeping anytime soon either :(

You could try jumping jacks... those tend to wake me up. Running is also wicked. Or dance around the kitchen. Or have a shower.

I'm sure the tired feeling will wear off soon enough.

Answer 3

Make plans that you absolutely can't get out of. I have to do that in order to get out of bed sometimes. Becoming tired from sleep is a sign of depression - trust me, it happens to me pretty often. I know that exercise and eating right will make a huge difference but I just can't get myself to do it. Having no choice but to get up and do something is one of the only things that helps me right now.
