Sleep problems

This can have many many different reasons.

I personally would start by making sure that you always get a multiple of the time a whole sleep cycle takes to complete, which usually is something around 90 minutes. So for example better sleep 6 hours or 7,5 than 7.

This will make sure that you will not be awaken when you are in deep sleep, which will make it harder to get up.

There are also apps available which help you with that. You will set an alarm time and the app will try to determine a time around it (by analyzing your sounds and movement) where you are in a light sleep phase and will wake you then.

Do you lift? Your body may need more sleep to recover.

Eat shitty food? You are more likely to feel sluggish and depressed.

Use a gadget before going to bed? Blue light messes up sleep patterns so consider getting Flux/Bluelight filter apps.

As for helping you get sleep, try Melatonin (Resets sleep cycles, makes you tired naturally after taking it. Better sleep.) and magnesium (200 mg or so).

As for alarms, consider putting the most annoying song you can in a loud volume as your alarm. I would go with "Let it go" from Frozen.

Take cold showers to keep you awake after you wake up.

No screens 1h before bed, read a book before bed, don't eat a massive meal right before bed. If you drink or smoke weed to help you sleep, stop now.

To fix your problem, wake up at the same time every day for a week. Every day, eat a big meal as soon as you wake up. Trust me.

Mine was totally diet related. When i was a disgusting fat body and ate all i wanted, i slept like shit. Now that i have changed my diet i sleep well and wake up great. Putting down the smartphone at night helped too.
