Why do you get out of bed in the morning?

Is it cause you're sick of sleeping? (I hope not)
Because you need to get to work?
Because you want to do something you like?
Is it because you have to pee really bad?

The act of literally getting out of bed, for me, is usually because I need to pee. But if you mean that question less literally and more in the figurative sense, then I get out of bed because there are things that I enjoy doing throughout the day. There are things in the immediate future, near future, and long term future that I am looking forward to.
It really depends what you mean by "get out of bed in the morning." I started to think about motivation, enjoyment and suffering a few years ago when I was seriously considering suicide. I imagine ranking my quality of experience from day to day, on a scale where -10 is the worst possible day I could conceive of and 10 is the best possible day I could conceive of (0 is neutral). Based on the life I've lived so far and what I plan to do in the future, I predict what the average daily score will be for the rest of my life. If, at any point, the average daily score for the rest of a person's life is positive, then their life is worth living. If the average daily score for the rest of a person's life is negative, then it is in their best interest to end their life. My current predicted future based on average daily experience is a positive figure, and my life is therefore ultimately worth living.

Now stand on those little floorhands until those get sores, and lie back down on your back to relieve them. Repeat.
You seem glum, chum. Maybe the question should be not why one gets up but why one would wish they were getting up. What do you want to do between bedsores, CS?

I'm just cusious as to why people get up. What do they want to do? it's not laying in bed. They want to get up and do something, what is it that you all are trying to do when you wake up?

I have plenty of things to do on a regular basis, but even assuming there was absolutely nothing of value to do, I would still get out of bed because too much sleep makes me depressed, and I have very dry skin so bedsores would become a problem very quickly. As for what I do, I'm not inclined to give a rundown of my average day (which is mostly consumed by work, anyway), but I certainly spend some time here at the Shroomery. I mostly use a computer that I have to get out of bed to use, so there's a reason right there!

I would give two reasons: because humans have an aversion to boredom, and also there's probably an element of DA in play at all times. As Nietzsche said, whatever humans are doing, there are always two central factors: danger and play. I think we get out of bed to satisfy/placate those drives.

Because the only other two alternative options, i.e; death (perhaps by not getting out of bed), or losing oneself in drugs (probably staying in bed whilst doing so), seem worthless by comparison to trying to make something of this crazy business that is life in our current age.
Now if I lived a tribal (leaver) existence, then I feel I could truly answer; 'because I want to'.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

To increase chances of procreation. Only valid answer. How are you going to fuck if you stay in bed all by yourself? And, if there is a willing hottie next to you, are you going to get out?
All we do is sexually motivated. Until it's not any longer. But by then you should get out because of your kids.
