Constantly differing shifts can also keep the body confused because there's no schedule and it doesn't even remotely match the light cycle outside. OP also didn't say 'full night of sleep' in their post.
? I'm confused by this reaction. I offered another possibility. I also pointed out that 'full night' wasn't in there because jumping straight to a disease/disorder seemed a bit strong when there might be other posibilities.
This post has many comments. Not one the same as mine, yet many the same as yours. Op was asking for help. I gave my knowledge, gained from experience and education that was not seen in any other comment on the post. Fuck me for offering assistance that I know from my history is an option as to this person’s problem when I could have just circle jerked.
I mean, I found the "fuck me" part surprising. I wasn't trying to attack you or anything. To me, there are steps between things and disease/disorder and I wanted to make sure it was clear; that's all. Yours was I think the second from top when I looked which is why I commented on it. I actually haven't finished going through them all yet
This was a terrible response man. The other guy was not detracting from or disagreeing with anything that you said in the slightest. You just got all pissy for literally zero reason.
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.
It helps me to prepare things like my clothes I’m going to wear the night before. Then just get into a routine and it won’t matter it takes you a while to wake up fully, you’ll just get ready on autopilot.
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.
I start reading something on my phone. Might not work for everyone, and depends on whether or not you’ve had enough sleep and don’t have a lot of sleep debt.
Good sleep hygiene to start. After that, always go to sleep and get up at the same time (or as close to it as possible). do not use snooze and get out of bed when your alarm goes off.
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.
