Tools For Waking Up?

NAS73163

I have been terribly struggling waking up in the morning without help. I have an alarm that wakes me up at my lightest point of sleep, getting plenty of sleep, have tried setting many multiple alarms, even when I wake up I can fall back to sleep after I eat or shower. It is very debilitating relying on others for this but I feel really stuck. I NEED to get up early for my job (hour and 20 mins drive) so I need time to drive there, get ready, and some time to walk in ect. Like most autistics I struggle prioritizing, deadlines, and sensing what is important. When I am half conscious in the morning this is 10x worse, sometimes I just want to go back into my dream (I have vivid dreams) and don't think about the fact I have stuff to do. I have been told I just need more motivation, to just DO IT, or that I must not care. But I do!! But executing just getting up is just so... HARD?? It feels so simple and my friends do it, I need to too. Any help would be amazing

  • I have the opposite problem.

    My nightmares wake me up several times a night.

    My latest wake was at 1:45am.  I was being hunted by a giant red spider, who with his millions of spiders had taken over the world and most of humanity was in a spider induced coma. Water levels were rising, so I was almost in waterworld.  I was trying to lure the red spider into an electricution trap.  Then I woke up.
