I just wanted to get some advice on an idea I had to help with my day time fatigue. I wanted to see if it sounded like a good idea or not.

Here is some background. I work in the afternoon to early evening. This leaves my mornings wide open. I did not realize how bored I was going to be in the morning waiting for work to come around. I wake up in the morning, and even though I am really not tired, I go back to sleep just because I want to prolong the boredom even more. I really think I am oversleeping. When I wake up I don't feel any more refreshed. Then as the day goes on I notice by self becoming more and more tired.

I have always been the kind of person who can wake up to their alarm. I never have to hit the snooze button. As soon as I hear that alarm I know it is time to get up and get moving. I plan is to set my alarm so that I have to get up at the same time everyday (I also plan to go to bed around the same time so that I get the same hours of sleep each night). I have come up with ways to fill my mornings by making a list of movies to see and books to read. I know this will keep my occupied and hope it will be motivation for me to get up.

So, does it sound like a good idea to set my alarm and wake up at the same time everyday? I plan to set it to around the time that I find myself first awakening in the morning (it is around the same time everyday). I really hate the run-down, tired feeling I get during the day.

Thanks
