Default Waking up tips?

Hello all, just started browsing the forums here, and it's nice to find people that understand what I'm going through!

I was in a car accident in February, and diagnosed with a concussion a few days later. Someone ran a red light and hit me in the drivers side door. I thought I was lucky, that I walked away from it with no major injuries. (Or so I thought!) It's now been 4 months, and most days are good, but there are plenty that feel like I'm walking around in a fog, or that the ground I'm standing on is tilted one way or another.

The biggest thing I'm looking for is tips on getting up and going in the morning. Even after 9 or 10 hours of sleep, I feel like I haven't slept at all. I'm sleeping through my alarm on a regular basis, and when I do wake up, I can barely drag myself out of bed.

I'm fine once I get going, but then between 1 and 2, I seem to hit a wall. All of the energy I had just seems to dissipate. Luckily, I set my own schedule at work, and the accident happened on the job, so while it has affected work, they've been very willing to work with me.

Wow, this has turned into a longer post than I thought it would!
