Every morning when I awake, I almost feel completely paralyzed for a period of time before I can physically get out of bed and start my day. This morning was one of the longer ones, maybe 60 minutes. I'm not actually asleep at this time, and I can still toss and turn and adjust my covers, but my body getting out of bed is out of the question. It feels like physical fatigue but I don't really suffer from anything AFAIK, as I'm a healthy person who doesn't partake in poor diet or drugs. I exercise as well.
If I have an alarm clock set, I can wake up, walk over, and shut it off, but will instantly climb back into bed, fall asleep and have the pattern continue.
This is very bizarre and I'm positive a psychological factor is to blame, as there are a couple of things in my life stressing me out (something many can relate to these days) but I'm still struggling to get out of this rut.
Any thoughts?
I used to have the same problem every now and then. It usually happened when I overslept (18hrs). I felt weak and couldn't get up but wasn't sleepy either. A good strong coffee would help me every time and also to sleep for a min time rather than long more than 10+ hrs. have an appropriate sleeping schedule.
