This isn't a life people tip at all.

WOW!! No. No one wants to suck on their bicep.

Feels like... from whose perspective??

Getting good amount of sleep is the main key to wake up in good mood. Your room can have least number of electronic devices to interfere with your rest. More over if you shut down the devices while you are asleep can be better. Black out the room by turning off the night lights. Keeping just the alarm clock by bed instead of the phone near your head works wonders. Upon waking up, pray(feed positive 2-3 thoughts to the mind) and then make your bed. Drink a glass of lukewarm water next. Perform deep breathing for two minutes. Do some stretching and then light excercise for ten minutes. Small accomplishments gives positive reinforcements required to build a routine. Sleeping and waking up at a particular time everyday cultivates discipline. After sometime you won't need the alarm clocks/phone to wake up. Your circadian cycle will do the work for you if you follow a routine.

This is more lik, really * weird, than an actual LPT, but ok.

You need better friends

I have a cold glass of water and when it’s not winter I go for a short walk.

My alarm is am instrumental version of a song I really like. I found that if the song has a gradual intro it's not annoying.

People say "fake it til you make it"; and it sounds clever. However, you're not faking it. You were hired for a reason. Someone believed in you enough to hire you over many other potential employees, so you must have something to you. You need to understand that you don't have to fake it, because the fact that you got the job means that you're not fake. Listen and learn, be a sponge. Then you'll usually understand why you were good enough to get the position in the first place, and you'll improve and be awesome!

Just getting burned because of this. This person was nice to me and I opened up a little to them. Well, I went to vague book to vague and even though I thought I could trust this person they still tried to take it to management. I didn’t peg that coworker to be a snitch like that, but that’s what I get for thinking it was safe to vent about a coworker we BOTH are tried of babysitting. I didn’t call anyone any rude names just talked about me feelings of frustration. My work is pretty messy so when coworker one was snitching on me, coworker 2 came running to me snitching on coworker one…

Edit: I just wanna also say I didn’t dox any of my coworker’s info or say where I worked in the post.

This. I’d even recommend scheduling the heat to turn on. It’s much easier to get up when the house is warm and staying under the covers starts to get hot.

That’s all it did for me too lol. Quick way to hate your favorite song

Same. I’ve tried all of the tricks, but my body needs a solid 8 hours for me to feel halfway decent in the morning. The only way to get it is to get in a routine of going to bed earlier each night. To do so, I had to tolerate about a week of forcing myself up early feeling like crap all day so that I’d be tired and ready for bed earlier.

Thank you everyone for your helpful and thoughtful responses!

Idk if I am too European for this corperate American "don't trust anyone" but in all the years that I am working now (like 18) I have not once worked at a store where people were not legit friends, liked each other and hung out with another

i empathise with you. i pray you get a solution to this soon

Fake it til you make it.

A secret is only Secret if NO ONE else knows!

I wake up at 2am (a few years now on this shift at work). This means I have to be in bed and asleep by 6pm if I want 8 hours. Never happens. I have a 4 year old at home. My wife does her best to make life easier on me, trying to take him out and stuff for a bit around my bed time.

Still havent really slept a full night in at least two years.

Then I switch to a day schedule for the weekend so I can spend time with my family, then back to nights for sunday night/monday morning.

It is brutal and I have no solution. I am a mindless half sleeping zombie who is always sick and extremely irritable and depressed.

I too want a solution.

I found that removing notification previews from phone home screen made my morning personality happier.

If the first thing you see when turning the alarm off is some overnight emails or chat messages, it jump starts your anxiety and (understandable) hatred. Check those after you got a coffee, so that it doesn’t hurt as much.

I struggled really badly with imposter syndrome since I’m a woman in a male-dominated field. It just took some time and realizing that actually I know a lot more than the average man about my field. I recognized that the people I look up to also don’t have all the answers and we all have something to learn. You have to start somewhere, you’re not an imposter!
