I’m always so exhausted, I can take an hour to wake up. How do you wake up quickly ?
Conventional wisdom is to keep a balanced circadian rhythm. Sleep at regularish times. Your body clock is set by when you first see blue light from above, so going outside first thing and looking up. Meal times too. Consider your diet and pre sleep habits - sugar, tv, caffeine tend to mess with sleep. Alcohol disables your adrenaline and helps fall asleep but then lowers the quality. Weed largely removes dreams and helps feel rested, but then there’s a slight hangover that encourages you to keep smoking
In short, it’s a holistic lifestyle thing. Everyone is different, so keeping a journal and experimenting helps. And of course your daily level of stress is a factor
There are also bedside lamps that slowly turn on at defined times, so you can wake up slowly. I’ve also built a blue light with a pi zero for my kids, that slowly increases in intensity over 10 minutes
I would also suggest something like a very bright Philips hue light (or other smart bulb). For me personally the bedside lamps can be problematic when sleeping sideways. And with smart bulbs you can just use whatever lamp you want.
I did this as well. I put 3 in the ceiling fan above my bed.
I get up an hour before my partner, and I also wake up easier, so I have them turn on at a low orange-red sunrise type color. They then later gradually brighten to a higher level of bright white when it’s time for her to get up, so it’s more intense, but still not harsh.
We still have alarms to actually get us up, but they can be quieter and less harsh, since the light helps the actual waking effect.
Perform acts counter to what your body wants for the majority of your earthly existence. Feel bad bout wanting rest and relaxation. Develop anxiety about not having enough money.
Go to sleep earlier, you probably are really just still exhausted from lack of sleep. Once you have eniugh sleep you’ll wake up without falling asleep again.
Always wake up at the same time
Make it a habit to always just stand up when you wake up. Even if it’s like an hour away from when you actually wanted to get out of bed. I used to be really bad at getting out of bed, but now even when I’m depressed I manage quite well. I will say you need motivation to get around the start.
