Getting up for work

I’ve recently started a new job after a few months of not being employed. I’ve always had trouble getting up in the morning and don’t want this to become a problem again. Does anyone have any tips for how to encourage yourself to get out of bed when you really don’t want to?

Lumie wake up light alarm works as a charm

There are apps that make you have to do a task or get up and scan a barcode before they can be turned off. I never found a permanent solution for this so my advice is to ask for an accommodation if you can or create a lifestyle that doesn’t revolve around being on-time. Sorry not more helpful. Good luck!

Also, giving myself an extra hour in the morning means that I am fully functioning by the time work time hits, more so than if I get that extra hour of sleep.

Put your alarm across the room so you have to get out of bed to turn it off!

I do this! And it worked wonders at the start now I either don’t hear it or convince myself it’s a nice sound 😩🤣

After trying a lot of things for waking up problem, this surprisingly worked for me perfectly: I downloaded an alarm app called "I Can't Wake Up". In this app, there are some things you must do to shut the alarm off. For me, the "barcod" thing works. I put a barcod to my bathroom and without scanning it, the alarm cannot be turned off 😅. So, I go bathroom with my phone. And as I am in the batroom, I wash my face, and the day begins... 😅😅

I got an alarm clock for blind people that shakes your bed or pillow to wake you up. I am always still late because the time I get up doesn’t matter. I could have 3 hrs to get ready and I’ll still be late because it gets worse as the time gets nearer.
