I have a huge problem concerning falling asleep and getting up and it's embarrassing.

Well I think insomnia or poor sleep is a fairly common struggle yet people manage to stick up to their work and/or appointment schedules. But me?? No!

I can't sleep early and when I want to wake up, no matter how serious is the appointment or the schedule, I end up showing up late. Why? Because when I wake up sleepy I lack urgency in my behaviour for some reason. You can compare it to overeating while dieting, it starts with one cookie and it ends up with eating a whole tray of sweets; you know that you need to loose weight yet you get over indulgent.

I used to struggle with many bad habits, but what's different here with getting up is that you aren't struggling to stop a behaviour or do something but you're struggling to keep yourself conscious when you aren't fully conscious.

What should I do?
