    I set a alarm. Even tho I don't have to wake up. I prepare everything out. I have my workout clothes on my night stand and they first thing I put on when I wake up.

    Have a routine. It really does help.

    For me, I can't think of getting up as optional or I'll fall back asleep. I think of it like my job - I wouldn't hit the snooze and sleep through work, so I can't do that through a workout either. Non-negotiable :)

    Usually I listen to some music at night and try to clear my mind. Try to be in bed earlier than your normal routine and when the alarm clock sounds , go immediately to the shower . Between the morning shower and of course ( stout) brewed coffee ☕️ you will be ready to take on the world

    It's funny I ive googled this a million times looking for tricks, made posts just like this on mfp and on Facebook and the only thing that really "works" is actually wanting to get up and just doing it. I prepare as much as possible the night before and then when morning comes I just get up

    I've always been a morning person, so maybe this isn't relevant to anyone. Drinking and smoking affected my sleep, and when I gave up both I noticed that I would wake up refreshed and alert. I also don't drink anything with caffeine other than my morning coffee.

    Drink a huge glass of water before bed. Maybe two or three. It makes it easier to wake up when the alarm goes off if you're dying to hit the head.

    Some years back I used to put my alarm on the other side of the room so I'd have to get up to turn it off.

    That's what I do. It can't be next to my bed or I'll just dismiss the notification on my phone without actually get ing out of bed.

    Put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to reach it. Once it goes off,don't get back into bed. Sit on the floor if you have to, but don't get back in bed.
