Two weeks ago I started a new diet and exercise program, first couple of days I felt great and I was even finding that I was able to get up in the morning with greater ease and energy. But now it's like my body isn't getting enough rest. It doesn't matter if I'm going to bed at 930 or 1 in the morning when 730 rolls around I can't seem to wake up. The diet plan was very healthy I started eating fruits and vegetables as well as staying away from complex carbs and starchs. So it's not like I'm missing important aspects of nurtrition. What can I do to make it easier to get up in the morning. and please don't tell me to keep a glass of water next to my bed and splash my face.

Your body is adjusting to your new, healthier regime and is likely doing some catch up for some of the unseen damages of your past unhealthy lifestyle. Keep with it! You should see it turn back around in no more than 3 weeks. If not, it may be time to add some vitamins to the regime (B Complex often has alot to do with energy levels, as does Ginseng for men or Dong Quai for women) or other suppliments to help your body recoup itself more quickly. You may also wish to try meditation. Often when you're working out and feeling better on one level, your mind winds up and doesn't want to unwind properly for good, restful, deep and healing sleep. So learning to meditate to unwind your mind at night is a great way to help yourself!! Good luck and I hope this helps!

I think it is actually seasonal changes and not your new diet and exercise plan that is causing you to be so tired all of a sudden. It has been proven that humans have the same urges to hibernate that other mammals like bears do when the seasons start turning. Scientists think it is either the effect of the sun rising later and later each day as we progress toward fall, or the falling barometric pressure when a low-pressure weather system comes into town, but people really do start getting more sluggish and lethargic towards the fall and winter months. So that might be one reason you're feeling that way.
You may also want to check in with your doctor to make sure you haven't made yourself anemic by inadvertently cutting too much iron (found in red meat) out of your diet. You may also have him check you for mono while you're there, as it is a popular time of year to contract it and the main symptom is always feeling tired. Have a good day!

It sounds like you aren't sleeping very well. Try establishing a relaxing evening habit (take a hot bath, drink chamomile tea, etc.) so you will be able to unwind and sleep soundly. Make sure to minimize the caffeine in your diet and don't exercise too close to bedtime. For what it's worth, though, maybe you just aren't a morning person and getting up will always be a struggle. I've had to get up at 6AM every day for ten years and it has never gotten any easier for me!! I just have to do it, even when I feel like I'd rather lose my job than have to get out of bed!!

There can be two reasons
1. You are overexercising ; OR
2. You are missing out on carbs (which is the energy source for our body)
In case you are under a trainer's guidance, talk it out with him/her and modify it. You probably also need to talk to a dietician who can work out your calorie requirement.
One more important thing, try to be in bed by a specific time. Erratic sleeping patterns arent too healthy.

The best way to get up in the morning at a specific time is that you imagine the hands of as clock, when you want to rise, and keep that in your mind till you fall asleep. May help you.

change ur exercise schedule, if its 3 times a week, make it 2 times a week, its a little bit difficult at the beginning, but your body will get used to it eventually

You may be coming down with a virus. Just keep going as you always have and yes, keep splashing water in your face, it will balance out for you.
