The bright light in your eyes before you go to sleep really fucks with your circadian rhythm.
Also a “bedtime” and wake up time being consistent helps.
The first week of this doesn’t feel like it helps, but keeping to a regular schedule along with the other tips in this thread could make a huge change in your energy levels
It’s been helpful for me to sleep 10-6 every night. I also have a light that supposedly simulates the light of sunrise so I don’t wake up in a dark room.
Avoiding snoozing can be difficult! I use iPhone shortcuts to wake up to a different album each day of the week. I notice time passing as the songs change. And have a second alarm to wake me up 20 minutes later in case I doze.
Getting out of bed and moving, stretching, walking around for a few minutes, wakes me up, too.
I am not perfect at getting up, but these things do help!
get you some app-operated light bulbs and set them to fade on instead of a noise alarm, or wake up with the sunrise. i remember all my dreams and my circadians are finally in rhythm 🥁 no bad mood mornings for me

I started getting clean the day Nancy Reagan died, which will never not be funny.
Hell of an elevator pitch…
