I'm sure this gets posted a lot here, but-
I often find it difficult to pull myself out of bed in the morning. I don't currently have any obligations that require me to get up immediately (job, kids, dog) so I just lay there staring at my phone, trying to wake up enough to eventually get up and start the day. I end up wasting hours staring at my phone, and would love if I could just get up after a reasonable few minutes of adjustment. Even when I do have something that requires me to get up, I end up laying there too long or oversleeping and being late.
I've tried-
-Sleeping with my phone in another room and using a radio alarm clock. If I don't have something (my phone) to engage my brain while it's still half asleep, I'll just turn off the radio, or leave it on and fall back asleep.
-Blocking social media apps to avoid getting sucked in. I just end up getting sucked into something else, or just go back to sleep.
-Books, movies, tv, puzzle books or toys, fun hobbies I can do from bed. Not exciting enough to break the sleepy spell.
-Alarm apps that require some puzzle or whatever. I will do the puzzle and go back to bed, and then probably be annoyed enough that I'll delete it.
-Hyping myself up about yummy breakfast and coffee. My tired lizard brain promises me I will get up and do it in 5 minutes. And it'll be there later.
-Keeping candy/tasty treats/beverages next to the bed to at least get me upright for a few minutes. Similar to breakfast, they'll be there when I wake up again later. Or I forget about them entirely.
I don't have a partner to help. My former partner used to bring me coffee in bed and talk to me. That was nice, I miss that.
Any tips or tricks I haven't tried that have helped you? Thanks!
