Re: Getting yourself out of bed..

Sometimes I put an alarm clock in a different room of the house to my bedroom. I turn it on to that really high pitched shrieking noise, so that the only option is to get out of bed to shut it off (and I am shocked awake, so I don't have time to whine to myself, I just have to get up to turn that horrible noise off). Then I try not to go back into my bedroom until I am fully awake.

Also, sunlight works for me. If my room is too dark, I sleep forever. But now, because I have moved house and my bedroom is extremely light, I can't sleep past 9am! Can you try to make your room lighter, or even leave the curtains open completely?

Can you get a friend to call you? I find that if I am woken up, and chat to a friend for awhile, I am more likely to be in a cheery mood, and it wakes me completely so that I find it hard to fall back asleep.

Hope this helps.
