Getting up in the morning can be difficult for some. I don't know your age or how long this has been an issue or other important history. A sleep study may be helpful to assess sleep architecture. Some persons are in their deepest sleep at the time they should be in much lighter sleep. Medications and changing some habits can help. A sleep specialist can help.
A sleep study analyzes your sleep stages, patterns, and respiratory events. Typically, during the beginning and middle periods of sleep have deeper stages of sleep (stage 3 or 4). As your sleep progresses towards morning, you get less stage 3/4 and get more REM sleep (dream sleep). This is a lighter stage of sleep. Typically you should be able to hear your alarm clock in this stage as it's easier to wake than if you were in a deeper stage. The sleep study give you insight as to how and if your breathing is affecting your sleep patterns.
This sound like a hypersomnia disorder with extreme excessive daytime and night time sleepiness. You should see a sleep specialist for a night time and daytime test to assess this as soon as you can.
