Signs You're Definitely Not A Morning Person

For most people, it's a struggle getting up in the morning, but you usually get through it. For others getting up in the morning feels like doing a triathlon. It takes all of your strength and effort to get out of bed, that's even  before having a shower and getting dressed. Here are the signs that you're definitely not a morning person

13) You keep dozing off

You actually try to stay awake, but your mind starts to wander and sooner or later you start to doze off. It's a never ending cycle of dozing off and waking back up. It can be embarrassing though if someone else has to wake you back up.

12) You set numerous alarms, all within 5 mins of each other

You used to just use the snooze button, but you have decided to set numerous alarms in an effort to try and get as much sleep as you can. It gives you numerous chances to actually get up, but you know you will end up just waiting until the last one goes off.

11) When you eventually wake up, you fall straight back to sleep

You say to yourself "I'll just close my eyes for a bit", next thing you know it's been half and hour and you wake up completely disorientated. You swear that next time you won't go back to sleep, but it's become a weekly routine.

10) So you have to rush to get ready and end up missing your bus

You have 5 mins to get dressed , have breakfast and do your hair.. challenge accepted. Of course you get nowhere near being ready and you end up looking like a mess. Worst of all, you see your bus pulling away just as you get to the bus stop.

9) If you wake up earlier than expected, you just lay awake, waiting

If you're unceremoniously woken up by outside noises or the rest of the people in your house getting up, it's hard to get back to sleep. You just lay there waiting till it's time to get up because your whole routine is broken.

8) It usually takes another family member to finally get you up

You keep going back to sleep, so it takes one of your family member's to actually get you out of bed. You do everything to stop them from getting out of bed, but the threat of getting water poured on you finally gets you up.

7) You don't have breakfast, you just have coffee

You might have some fruit or a Nutri-grain bar, but the main part of your breakfast is actually coffee. You don't know how you could survive without coffee, and you're always seen with a cup in your hands.

6) Having lunch is the highlight of your day

If you somehow manage to survive until lunch time, you are overjoyed with the thought of lunch. It is the only thing that keeps you going throughout the day and once you finally get lunch you feel ten times better.

5) You completely regret staying up till 5am binging on Netflix

You just couldn't stop once you got going and now you are really making up for it.You wake up seeing visions of Kevin Spacey with one of his speeches from House Of Cards still ringing in your ear. This a regular occurrence and next time you probably won't end up going asleep at all.

4) You try to avoid having conversations at all costs

You hope you don't bump into someone you know, but if you do, you don't say much, you just nod and pretend you're listening. If you do end up saying anything, it just sounds like gibberish and it makes no sense.

3) Your brain doesn't function properly that early in the morning

Nothing seems to work, your brain doesn't process things well and if someone asks you to work out something your brain just completely shuts down.

2) You despise morning people

You can't fathom how they have so much energy and zest this early in the day. You wish you could be that cherpy in the morning and, anytime they greet when you come in, you find it hard to crack a smile.

1) You really value your sleep

There is nothing better to you than sleep, so sometimes work or college will have to you wait while you catch up on all the sleep you missed. If it were up to you, you would sleep 12 hours a day and then, only then,  you might consider getting up. The world just isn't made for non-morning people.
