You don't have to : This might be a habit. If you are not happy with it you can form a new habit--such as getting up calmly after you wake up. You're in charge. You can establish a new habit. If you're lacking motivation to participate in activities and pursuits you might have depression. A professional mental health specialist can evaluate this with you.
