Hello!

How do you translate following sentence into Turkish?

"I wake up at 7:45, but actually I stay in bed for a few more (extra) minutes, because I have no power (in other words: I´m too powerless) to get up."

 

My try is: (but I think it´s very botched

7:45´te uyanırım, ama aslında kalkmaya gücüm olmadığı için yatakta birkaç daha dakika kalırım.

 If you cancel the words "actually" from English and "aslında" from Turkish sentences, both sentences will improve.

It seems that we share the same idea about a good sentence. Most actuallies are useless.
