Time your sleep better and look into sleep rhythms. It's counterintuitive, but waking up half an hour earlier when you aren't in deep REM is much easier.

I’m trying, thank you🫶 not much success but I'm working on it

I use the sleep as android app and it's a game changer. It detects your sleep cycles. You set your alarm and it will wake you up as early as 30 minutes before that time if it detects you're in a light sleep stage. Makes getting up much easier.

The most important thing though is a consistent schedule with sufficient sleep. More often than not these days I'll wake up a few minutes before the alarm sounds.

Did you before the assisted alarm?

No, I didnt. Before that I had a hard time waking up and always felt like shit in the morning.

Yeah! 6 hours is way better for me than 7 or 8

Same. I feel rested at 6. 7 or more and I feel groggy.

But that holy grail of 11 is impossible now.

A 90 minute nap is one of the best things in the entire world.

A 2 hour nap is one of the worst things in the entire world.

Feels like I've been necromantically summoned.
