Are You In A Good Mood Or Bad Mood In the Morning!

Hiya LCB'ers,

Statistics show that most people wake up in a good mood but as the day progresses that mood changes drastically.

I am surprised that most people wake up happy cuz i know so many that are very crabby when the wake up.

I have always been in a good mood when i wake up and i guess it all depends on what the day brings me if my mood changes.

How do you wake up?

I usually wake up in a pretty good mood and if I don't it's because I am holding on to some resentment or other and need an attitude adjustment... which I give myself on the spot...

The coolest thing about that is that I can stop a moment any time of day and give myself another adjustment and get back to my good mood. When I can't it is because I have handed the keys to the kingdom over to someone, or something outside of myself.

They say you can either have a good day or a bad day, it is up to you to choose. I just can't imagine waking up and thinking... "Hmm, I think I will have a god awful bad day today, just because it is my choice."

i suffer from anxiety so i get up at wierd hours sometimes......

but more than often i wake up not too bad mood, depends what happened the previous day or how i slept, if i have bad sleep which i usually do i tend to be tired and just not very happy

but when i sleep well i seem to be ok

If you don't get a good nite's sleep i can see waking up crabby. That has to be awful for peeps who can't sleep well.

Katt you are sooooooo right it's a choice. I think the only time it's not is if your under a lot of stress or you don't feel well.

I know someone who claims to always be in a bad mood in the morn. And everyone reinforces it by saying uh oh don't talk to her cuz she is not a morning person. And i would always think how can you wake up every single morning in a bad mood....it's got to be choice!

I don't think a bad night's sleep or being sick should make you wake up out of sorts... yes, you may wake tired and sleepy, and you may wake feeling awful, but those things do not require nor necessarily cause irritability... it is still a choice.

I speak from experience as I have not had a "good night's sleep" in several years. A good sleep for me is usually no longer than 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. The problem is so bad that I have been on Provigil (the medicine they give narcoleptics and astronauts to keep them awake and aware when they need to be) for several years. I am the queen of tired. Additionally, I am in pain every day and have to take anti-nausea meds every day just so I can eat.

Top all that off with major stressors in my life, like my home being in foreclosure because of these problems and others I won't mention... yet with all of that I wake up in a good mood everyday and make a choice about whether I will have a good day or a bad day... Now, I do want my coffee and I want it NOW... but I am still in a good mood.

LOVE...LOVE....LOVE.... this way of thinking.  I have to tell myself the same thing on some days although I'm not always successful.

I am a nite owl so I don't get much sleep.  I generally wake up tired, hit a wall about 11am and then by 10pm I have a 2nd wind.

I'd say I wake up in a good mood 85% of the time.  Depends on what I have going on that day.  If I'm super busy... I wake up in a better mood, rarin' to go.

Well, I usually wake up tired because I don't get enough sleep. But I'm generally in a good mood

I wake up in a good mood but every once in a while I can be nasty. I can be a worrier so that can put me on edge sometimes.

I can also slip into a bad mood or worry and sometimes can get completely peeved at someone or something... but, I try to stop when I realize this and do a U-turn (I have always said, "God allows U-turns!").

A short while to breathe and reflect (attitude adjustment) and I can regain my perspective and continue in a good mood. I just know that the troubles that are eroding my mood are not improved by my feeling bad, ranting, raving, or beating myself up... those things just hurt me more. They don't change the situation or if it is a person I have a problem with, those things sure don't make that person feel as bad as they make me feel.

            I have to say I hate mornings.  I  used to work nights for almost 14 years until my wife made me go to days  a few years ago.  I didn't even drink coffee until I switched to days,  weird I know.    I 'm not really in a good or bad mood,  just dragging before my first cup.

I get cranky, crabby, pi$$y, grumpy, moody you name it but after a cup of coffee Im good

LOL love the descriptions

I very rarely wake up in a bad mood. I do have to have my tea though and I dread to think what I would be like without it.

My mood when I get up have been better since May 7th. I take a benedryl before bed then sleep 4 hours.  I wake up drugged out of my mind because my system doesnt like medications but after I lift my leg I go downstairs and I am greeted with huge tail going 100 miles per hour.  After I grab my 1st Dr. Pepper of the morning and sit down at the computer a giant lab comes over to me and gives me a wet kiss on the lips then a very large paw smacks me.  After all this who can be in a bad mood???? BTW, when I get smacked by a big front paw it means daddy I have to go poo poo in a hurry.

I have a really bad mood when a wake up. I just love sleeping and can't get enough of it.

I am just the opposite with wanting to sleep. I sleep like a rock but when i do wake up during the night i ck the clock hoping it's not too early to get up!

I find sleep a necessity that i can't wait to get over with.

when i check the clock, i dread looking, i try not too because if i do check the clock i find it even harder to get back to sleep, so if i havent slept for long i get very anxious

hate mornings.. waking up 7am..on weekend can not sleep longer because I got used to for the clock alarm on over days..

I'm in a .. hmmm.. "goobad" mood with bills due.. i dunt like them

i wake up always in a good mood, though i love to sleep in i don't mind getting up  early, it's quiet,  the rising sun is beautiful, the air is fresh..  i do have trouble sleeping at night, when morning comes i have no trouble getting up no matter how much sleep i have had, BUT my best sleep comes between the hours of 4 am and 8 am, on those rare occasions that i do get to have it.. i appreciate every wink of it, i guess i can say i'ma morning and night person, i can stay up all night and still be happy and carefree waking up early and going about my day.. BUT don't have my coffee.. and i turn so evil... roooaaaar
