I've found from experience, that focusing hard on the time you get up helps in waking your body up at the desired time.

Furthermore, my mother let me in on this trick (her mum taught it to her, and I find that it works): Tell your pillow out loud when to wake you up. I think it's more of the same at the bottom of it (focusing on the desired waking time).

This method typically does not fail me. I have a tendency to sleep through alarms, but I almost always wake up at the target time (or a few minutes before, sometimes!). Usually, I get up then loll around or go back to bed. But that is a willpower/discipline issue.


When I wake up, my head hurts & buzzes and I generally feel awful. No matter how much sleep I've gotten. Occasionally I'll wake up with a clear head, but so rarely. That's what it all comes down to. I'm fully capable of being on time in the evenings, but mornings just suck.

At some point I took up exercise but that leds me to need even more sleep. But you're right, the problem is with the waking time. Even more, with what time I go to bed the night before.
