Morning Blues

Why is it that the older you get-the harder it is to get up in the morning??? When I hear those three high pitched chimes in the morning I want to scream out in rage! I hit the snooze button at least three times each morning, and when it comes time to finally get out of bed- I have to drag myself out. No matter what time I go to bed the night before-the morning is still difficult. I am getting frustrated-I used to be the person who got up at 5:30 to go running, or who just "naturally" woke up at 6:00! Where has that ability gone?? Now every morning I make the choice between getting ready or sleeping, and 9 times out of 10 sleeping wins. Each night as I set the alarm I make a goal to get up right when it goes off so I can get stuff done before work, and then in the morning my goal is forgotten. I need a solution or a new suggestion on how to make waking up a more pleasurable experience!!
