how to get up with the first alarm?
or even second or third or fourth? it’s a recurring problem. i sleep a ridiculous amount every day because i have no motivation to wake up.

Having just one alarm helped me. I realized having a back up, and a back up for a back up created a sense that each one was less serious than the one before it. Putting my alarm away from my bed was a good one. And finally, getting a sunrise alarm clock helped me ease into waking up, not to mention the fact that it mimics natural sunlight created a biological response. I go thrifting and always stumble upon one. Hope this helps!
I tried all kinds of things in the past, but to be honest, once I started my ADHD medicine, now I wake up with one alarm and sometimes just my Apple Watch vibration alarm 🙌🏼🎉 Also, I do have to make sure I’m in bed on time and get enough sleep or it’s still a challenge for me to get up at first 🙃
For that problem I use an application: I Can't Wake Up. It has some tasks that U choose one or a couple them. And when the alarm turn on U have to do the tasks to turn off 😅. The most useful task for me is "barcode". I put a barcode to my bathroom and my alarm does not turn off without scanning it 😅. After turning it off, I wash my face bcs I am in the bathroom. In that way the day starts 😊.
