Regular aerobic exercise, doesnt need to be a lot, say 30mins a day. Its surprising how much 'better' exercise will make you feel and its proven to help insomnia etc, which although isnt exactly your problem im sure it will be beneficial. However, if you are stressed in anyway thats a whole different kettle of fish.
Now get off the computer and do a bit.....

Imagine something you really like doing and imagine how difficult it would be to get up for that, I dunno, a day of karting or test driving a Lambo for several hours and you have to be at the dealer at 7am. If you imagine whilst dozing tomorrow morning that this is what you'll be doing that day and you suddenly feel like leaping out of bed, it means you hate your job. Sorry.

Cut down on alcohol (providing you drink it, of course) and substitute with water. As mentioned, go to bed early. An hour earlier in the evening is worth 2 in the morning (so my Nan told me, bless her).
Never underestimate the benefit of an early night. It can erase two hard days work.

SAD light helped me with that problem.
Found going straight from work to the office didn't really give enough exposure to natural daylight to get my body clock in sync so to speak. 30 mins of the light when I sit down at my desk in the morning makes a difference.
Also nabbed a desk next to a window as soon as one became free, that helps as well getting natural light at the desk.
Our lifestyle has progressed quicker than our bodies have evolved. They don't cope all that well with modern life in lots of cases.

You need a few alarms and systems - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2BAdZ8uNfQ
One of them will wake you up. And then a bang on the head seems to do it

te. I would say you really need to look at your diet. If you are feeling tired all the time, despite sleep then your body is not receiving the nutrients it requires. You need to eat 'brain foods' eg, fresh friut and vegtables and give your body energy food, eg - wholegrain, pulses etc.
A good diet will transform your quaility of life.
Are you over weight? Is your sleep interrupted? You may have narcolepsy.

I think some people are just like this naturally whatever they do.
I have a good diet, do plenty of exercise, get plenty of sleep, sleep with curtains open, window open and all of the other things people suggested on here, and i still REALLY struggle to get up.
In fact I think exercise has actually made me worse. If anything I am MORE tired now I go to the gym every day. Has made me feel much better overall, but in the morning, jesus, sometimes I cant be bothered to move at all.
Strangely, the only thing thats helped me is a bloody good drink the night before. If I get drunk, I NEVER have a problem getting up in the morning.
I think I'm broken.

I am much the same. Every morning i feel shattered,i have a redbull every morning and maybe a coffee or two. I get about 7-8 hrs sleep,eat reasonably well,dont drink or do drugs but do smoke.I work outside so see plenty of light and am not desperately unfit.
It really does annoy me especially when i,m wide awake at midnight. I have always been the same for as long as i can remember.
What annoys me too is not only am i tired every morning i also feel very anxious,my brains in overload thinking about what i need to do that day/week/month and i end up worrying. By midday i feel better.
I think a smoothie may help and i keep meaning to try it as surely they must be better than redbull especially with a load of bananna and apple.

Mine lost its video output, no RROD & as its a release day console well out of warranty.
Yesterday it arrived back less than 2 weeks after UPS picked it up. Opened the box to find a nice new (manufactured date mid October 2008) 360 sat there & a letter saying to speed the process up a replacement had been sent.
Chuffed with that. Cost 55 quid for a new xbox which will have the newer chip set, it runs quieter, has a full warranty as a new one would & came with a months live sub.
Its worth sending them off to get fixed rather than just buying a new one IMO.
Editied - WTF????? This isn't the thread I posted on! Its meant to be on the gaming/xbox360 thread!
