Tips for getting out of bed?

Hey guys! My doctor ordered the adrenocortex stress profile from Genova to see if cortisol is interfering with sleep.

For the test to be accurate, you have to wake up and get up between 6-8a.m.

I have a lot of pain, grogginess and symptoms when I wake up, but especially when I wake up in the a.m.

It's kind of embarrassing but I have extreme difficulty waking up in the morning. Today I got up at 8:40a.m. So I know I can do it at 8a.m. (One of these days.) I could definitely use some advice though.

What things do you do to get up when you feel awful opening your eyes? Thanks!

Across the room could be helpful! I'll try it, thanks.

Thanks for the advice! I might ask my doctor about that next visit.

I am looking more for behavioral tips for tomorrow. The reason I have to get up early is to do a saliva test. I don't want to start any new supplements that might interfere.

That's a great idea, thanks. I will ask. That's so cute about your pets! I have 2 cats, but they tend to sleep through the morning. I actually like to joke that I'm secretly a cat, because we follow basically the same schedule
