I have had your problem for 4 years until I spoke to a doctor and had a sleep study done (observe you over night). They have found that I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. This basically means that while asleep my air way closes and stops oxygen getting to the brain(or the rest of my body). I have been given a machine to help keep my air passage open while I sleep and I feel great in the morning. Do you feel sleepy(drowsy) during the day (meetings,driving,even just talking to someone)? If so you need to see a doctor before you get hurt. Good luck!

You sleep in cycles, whereby every X hours/Minutes, so if you near an end or beginning of a cycle, then you wake up alert.
If woking more towards the middle of a cycle, then you wake up still tired. Think you are supposed to work out your cycle (like 3/4 hours) then sleep for X hours.
I frequently have to work long hours, which means getting up early. Somtimes i can goto bed at 2am and get up at 6am and feel better than when i goto bed at 11pm and get up at 8am.
Its to do with these cycles. I think mine is around 3 hours.
****UPDATE - found some websites backing this up to a degree, we apparently sleep in 90 minute cycles, so we should always wake up in 90 min intervals (eg. 1.5hrs, 3hrs,4.5hrs,6hrs,7.5hrs).
One website says if you turn the alarm clock up, you will always wake up in these intervals naturally. And that you can actually get away with sleeping just 4.5 hours a day.

What were you like the morning before the night before?
Also, I have this with my kids, they always say that I put them to bed when they are not tired and wake them up when they are asleep!
Just mornings isn't it?

Here's the scoop: you probably slept in later than you normally do & if you wake up & then go back to sleep you feel more tired when you wake up & stay up. If you get out of bed the first time you wake up you'll feel more rested. Trust me!!!

basically when u wake up the body has take itself out of a state of rest.when you are sleeing it takes more energy than any other sort of activity therefore hen you awake you have just used a large percentage of nrg.this is the reason you are more tired than the night before

Isn't that normal? Who likes waking up in the morning - doesn't everyone feel the urge to crawl back under the duvet and have some more?!!
I do - and I always assumed it's pukka!

Perhaps you need a sleep study. Myself,I had the same problem and found out it was due to restless legs and sleep apnea.I'd forget to breath and then kept waking up. now I use a CPAP
machine to sleep with.{Continueous positive air pressure] Talk with your Doctor to arrange a sleep study, or talk about possible depression.

You have not woke up 100 % in the morning,
your biological clock has not sounded the alarm... yet
At night you are aware of things, so you can delay sleep if you want to

Go see the doctor and they can send you for a test or you might just be overtired or run down.
As I say would need more information !

Have you been tested for sleep apnea? This seems to be the catch-all for all the ills of mankind these days.
