It steps into winter in China and the weather turns cold suddenly. I was wearing short T shirt days before but now have to wear greatcoat. Every morning, it's so painful for me to get up. I'm late for work every day now. How about u, my friend?

I always have trouble situating China because it is such a big country. I always visualise China under the tropic. So it is a bit of a shock to look at the map and see that it is so high up in the Northern Hemisphere. Well in Australia, we are getting close to summer and I am looking forward to it. I live in the bush and the winters last longer here than in Sydney, which is on the coast.

hey sophialin....i guess its hard for most to get up in the morning when its cold...its really nice to be on the bed covered up with a nice thick blanket... i just love it... But when there is necessity we will have to come up with some solution..... try having a hot cup of coffee in the morning...it should help you freshen up..or try some aerobic that will not only freshen but it will warm you up too...double advantage ..... you can also try something new that suits you better...anyway all the best

Hi. sophialin. I have been having a hard time getting up in the mornings too. Not because of the weather, but because of me still feeling exhausted from getting up every morning so early in the mornings. In the mornings, it is always cold. So, we all have to still wear coats. Maybe when May gets here, we will be okay. I have not been late to work, because I don't work outside of the home. Which I am glad about. I hope that your mornings get better for you. I also hope that the weather gets better so you can find it easier to get up in the mornings. Take care.

I can relate to your not wanting to get out of bed on a cold morning. Since I have MS and arthritis, some mornings are very difficult for me. However, I usually feel better after I roll out and do the special exercises that have been prescribed for me. It has still been summer-like weather here in south central Texas, but tomorrow morning's temperature is supposed to be down to 49 degrees F. It has been windy, which has brought the pecans down from the trees. I went for a walk this morning and picked up about a gallon of nuts from the streets and sidewalks. We have no pecan trees in our yard, but the older part of the town is filled with them. Today is my birthday. It has been a good day.

It sounds as if your weather changed suddenly. We are just now getting a little cooler. It does make it more pleasant to sleep in late when the weather is cool, but it is not too big a problem for me.

When its cold, it really feels nice to stay on bed and I really do get a nice sleep thanks to the low temperature but, if I have to wake up early, that would be a struggle for me. Here in my country, its not that cold as other places would be but, somehow we still get to wake up a few minutes late than what we want to. Then again, seems like we are still going to have a lot of typhoons so, it would not only be cold but also wet in the following months to come (-_- )

It is getting cold these days. Every morning I set my alarm o'clock to wake me up at six thirty to make sure that I have enough time to get up for some preparations before going to work on time, namely before eight. It is true that cold days make us want to sleep longer in the morning, but due to our work, we have to get up early enough to go to work. During working week, my greatest desire is to have a good rest on weekends. I am glad that I can have a good rest in the next few days without having to get up that early. Take care and stay warm, sophialin.

hi spphialin hi wow I did not realize China had cold weather in winter and was thinking it was more tropical. OUr winters here in southern califorina are for the most part fairly mild.For me the mornings are dark and colder too but I a m retired so can stay in and get warn again. I hope for your sake you have a nice warm coat to snuggle into on your way to work.

Well everyone faces this issue at one time or the other.Even I do.Sometimes if I stay up late in the night watching a movie or studying or just plain surfing the net, it becomes very difficult for me to wake in the morning.And this is not at all dependent on the weather though in winter especially you ma feel like you want to sleep more.It is more of a bodily need to sleep.If your body feels that more sleep is needed try as as much as you might, you will feel deprived of sleep and have difficulty waking up

I am retired so I have no worries about being late except for a few appointment I and my family have during the week. I have had to put on a long shirt and socks at night to keep warm. The temperature has gone down from twenty to thirty degrees now at night. That is just the beginning.

It is really a tough task to get up early in the morning in Winter.But if your boss is real hard and shows you how hard life can be I am sure you would wake up early and rush to your work. I think room heaters would help you fight cold and chills. Happy warm working in winter...

It is a little harder to get up when the weather is cold that's for sure. I think there are some ways that make getting up eassier, but I really dont know what they are. I struggle sometimes with that.

It is also a problem for me to get up when it's cold. But I have an alarm clock that wakes me up. I set it three times, with thirty minutes interval so that I will really wake up (by getting annoyed). This is really helpful. But the problem is when I'm in the office, I usually feel sleepy. I guess I should live with it, it's work and I need the money I earn. This also motivates me.

It starts to get cold in the morning here in the Philippines too..and i too find it hard to wake up in the morning. I woke up 15 minutes before my working hour and so i was very late when i came in, this happened just the other day. But we don't wear coats here..because after 7am or 8 it starts to get warm again.

It's really hard to wake up when the weather is cold. Good thing I don't have classes now. If I have, I'll be late for school and have a bad grade.
