Nevermind waking up at 6am to workout. I mean waking up, staring at the ceiling and just thinking of nothing. When do you decide. "Okay, I've been laying here for 2 hours. Time to get dressed."

    You just do it. I don't like sleeping the day away. When my alarm goes off, it's up and at 'em.

    If I go by your headline "What Motivates You Out Of Bed Every Morning ?",
    I tend to get out of bed at the insistence of my bladder lol...
    If I go by you actual question "Okay, I've been laying here for 2 hours. Time to get dressed."
    That motivation is more apt to hit if I have destination in mind...

    Beating yesterday's me. Everyday I wake up is a chance for me to do what I couldn't do before, to beat personal records that I thought I couldn't do before and to continue to be the best version of me. "They say beauty's in the eye of the beholder
    That's why I look in the mirror every morning and realize how fly I am!"

    #1 force that motivates me out of bed is needing to use the bathroom.
    My child needing care
    My pets needing care
    Packing lunch for dh
    Hunger
    Thirst
    Boredom
    Lonliness
    I rarely want to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours. I would get twitchy. I may not get dressed for hours after getting up but I get up.

    ^^ Same with me...

    If I never had to pee, I'm pretty sure I'd live in bed. I love sleeping.

    Oh man. I have the same problem. On my days off I tell myself that I will for sure wake up early and work out or at least do something productive...but I end up sleeping through my alarms and staying in bed until noon.
    But when I work, the kiddos I take care of are what motivate me to get out of bed. They depend on me to be on time!

    On workdays, it's usually "Won't have time to shower if I don't get up now." My personal presentation is very important to me. On weekends, it's often "Aw man, I have to pee."
