  Whole life I had a very hard time waking up. Early just wasn’t for me.

  Then I woke up to the house burning down around me, trapped in a basement.

  Now I wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 am every morning without an alarm clock, in fight or flight mode, so I don’t even need coffee.

  Not a solution that’s right for everyone.

    Umm. Sorry man. There are some good meds that can help with that, like Prazosin, which blocks norepinephrine, which is the fight-or-flight chemical. It also blocks nightmares from being remembered if taken at bedtime. And it keeps your blood pressure like, textbook perfect. If you have a doc you can ask. Good luck. I have PTSD which used to cause the same thing you have.

  You can get in bed earlier it doesn’t mean you’ll fall asleep

      How would you even begin to know your caffeine intake

        Basic math? Are you unaware of how much coffee/tea/soda you consume in a given period or did you forget the /s?

        Caffeine pills. Alternatively, basically the same way you do alcohol

  I find that having a cat that religiously wakes you up somewhere between 6 and 7 every morning to be an incredibly effective bedtime retrainer. There’s only so many months you can be sleep deprived before going insane or collapsing.

    That’s my cat now.

    But my prior cat would sleep on my chest, forcing me to be even more late.
