Music, even loud and or bad music, simply won’t wake some people up. If you’re one of those people, you need to use an alarm. When choosing an alarm, get one that makes a noise that is unusual for your environment. Don’t get one that sounds like the microwave, for example, or the telephone if you don’t answer the phone. (Though some people are well trained to jump at the sound of the phone, so a phone sounding alarm is perfect.)
Telling you to get more sleep may be “obvious,” but many people simply stay up later than they should–not because they have any sleep disorders, but because they choose to stay up late. Force yourself to go to bed in time to get 8 hours of sleep.
Some people also have extraordinarily good internal clocks. I used to be able to look at the clock, repeat to myself the time it displayed, and tell myself to wake up at a certain time. It worked. Your brain may be telling you, “You know, 6:25 worked just fine last time.” You can try changing the time on your bedside clock. Make it an hour fast. If you wake up in the night, you probably won’t remember it’s an hour fast, and you might mentally adjust to the advanced hour.
I’ve always had a lot of difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, and most of it is my fault. I stay up too late for my own good. I know I need a lot of sleep, but sometimes I ignore that fact.
And sometimes it is, and I don’t believe anyone said it always was the answer.
Other things that may work – note the use of the word may – are to put yourself on a set sleep schedule (always going to bed at the same time, and waking up at the same time) and to raise the blinds/open the curtains in your room before you go to sleep, so the sun comes in in the morning. Both may make it easier to get up, since your body can be accustomed to a particular sleep habit and since sunlight prompts wakefulness. It’s also worth keeping in mind that too much sleep can also make you logy and lethargic, so sleeping 15 hours a night is probably not a good idea either.
And anyone who wants to call me “Captain Obvious” for these suggestions is invited to kiss my ass.
As soon as you open your eyes pop one and you will very shortly be alert & awake, and not in coke/meth junkie way. It seems to be less damaging then coffee or aspirin and is apparently incredibly effective.
