How to reset my body clock?
I have to get up at 7.30 every morning. Really really don't enjoy it as I feel tired and as if I didn't sleep. I usually go to sleep no earlier than 12am. I only ever feel fresh if I've had ten hours, but I just can't go to sleep before 12am. Anything I can do?

7 hours sleep, give or take, should be sufficient for you to maintain your energy and alertness levels during the day.
About that much sleep is associated with the best long term health outlooks.
It's fine if you feel somewhat unfresh on first waking up.
What counts is how you feel when you get to work / school / uni. And whether you're able to function properly.

What sort of food and drink have you been consuming?
Foods that are high on the glycemic index will set you on a blood sugar vs insulin roller-coaster.
Switching to healthier food and drink will help you to feel more energetic and less lethargic.
As will regular exercise.

I don't drink caffeine/alcohol, and I rarely eat sugar or processed foods. I also have very dark curtains so I think it may be me not relaxing properly or not exercising in the morning. Thank you for your response, I will hopefully find these useful!

I think probably the main take-away is that it's fine to feel somewhat woolly headed on waking in the morning. And for it to take a while to rev up. As long as you are able to function well enough for the main things that you need to do during your day.
What exactly did you eat and drink yesterday?

Ok you may be right there. As to what I had yesterday - I had porridge, a couple of salads (beans, feta, tomatoes, salad leaves, etc) , and for dinner I cut some potatoes up into slices and cooked them. I probably didn't drink enough yesterday, I'd estimate maybe 500mls. Today, I had an omelette, sandwich and I'm having pizza tonight. Tbh yesterday and today's meals are the meals I eat most. I've kind if lost my appetite and got a bit picky over a lot of food. I did recently buy some chocolate which I smack on but I mostly will go weeks without eating sugary things.

Your diet is not too bad. Assuming you drink water and not fizzy drinks.
Porridge is good.
Salads tend to be better when home made and not shop made. Cheaper, more variety, easy to have fresher ingredients and easy to make tastier.
Spuds are OKish - depending on how they're cooked. Add sweet potatoes to your diet to bump out some of the potatoes.
Omelettes are junk food. Many shop bought sandwiches are junk or semi junk. Wholemeal is better than white. Pizza is junk food.
Cadbury's type chocolate is junk food. Cacao powder is much better. Avoid brands that are high in lead and cadmium.
Unsalted nuts are great for snacking and as delicious additions to meals. As is fruit. This is the berry season.
Beetroot is good for stamina.
Fenugreek is good for strength.
Herbs and spices and seeds and are great. As are (home grown) broccoli sprouts.

I don't drink fizzy drinks, nearly everything i eat is homemade: this includes the salads. I hardly use any oil on the potatoes, I don't eat shopbought sandwiches, and I never eat white bread. I eat either wholemeal/rye sourdough bread. The pizza is also completely made from scratch by my mum: she makes the dough from wholemeal flour, we put our own vegetable toppings on our pizzas. I hardly ever eat chocolate, I can even remember the times I bought chocolate as it is so rare. I've probably had three bars of chocolate this year, and onetub of icecream

Also, I love berries and often make smoothies. I also like beetroot. Thank you for your suggestions though, I feel like I might just have to do some rigorous exercise in the morning to get my blood pumping.
