Conventional wisdom is to keep a balanced circadian rhythm. Sleep at regularish times. Your body clock is set by when you first see blue light from above, so going outside first thing and looking up. Meal times too. Consider your diet and pre sleep habits - sugar, tv, caffeine tend to mess with sleep. Alcohol disables your adrenaline and helps fall asleep but then lowers the quality. Weed largely removes dreams and helps feel rested, but then there’s a slight hangover that encourages you to keep smoking

In short, it’s a holistic lifestyle thing. Everyone is different, so keeping a journal and experimenting helps. And of course your daily level of stress is a factor

If you can’t get up quickly, plan to get up slowly. My alarm goes off and hour before it needs to just so I can get some extra snoozes in before I’m ready to get up.

As others have stated, good sleep hygiene. Are you putting in good hours for sleep, 7-8 hrs? That will help keep you healthy over the years and make it easier to get up.

When a certain time hits, don’t stare at your phone in bed. I put on a simple podcast before bed with a sleep timer; it’s perfect for me.

DO NOT consume caffeine for the first 30 mins of wakefulness; this is not helpful & it will train your body to need that caffeine/stimulant in order to wake up. No. Wake up naturally, after some good sleep, throw on some music & start your day…allow your body to “boot up”. As it were. I slam caffeine after being awake for at least 30 mins, if not an hour.

The trick that worked for me was to have a really fucking obnoxious alarm sound at a consistently specific time. My subconscious adapted to wake me up earlier than it to prevent hearing it.

Have a cat retching… works always here.

I’m no morning person either. I just set a timer on the radio (when I sleep trough it I’m to exhausted) and I take about 2h before leaving for work. I’m just a liability on the road when I leave without waking up slowly.

Down a glass a water as soon as you get up.

Go to sleep at a fixed hour. I recommend 20/22, that’s 8/10pm in 12-hour format.
