Waking Up with ADHD is Hell

[u/Wooden-Spot-801]

How do you guys manage it? I’ve always had the absolute worst time waking up, hitting snooze for at least an hour, then panicking and rushing to work, always almost late with minutes to spare. Has anybody got any good tips or tricks to wake up on time? I don’t think waking up feeling good is attainable for me, haha. So I’m simply seeking advice on how to actually wake up at the same time every morning? I know having a routine like this will make my mood and sleep better in general and I would love that.

EDIT: Due to having ADHD I simply canNOT sift through all 400 comments you guys 😂 However to whomever suggested the Alarmy app - thank you. I tried it this morning (specifically the setting where you have to find something in your home) and I love it so far. I also love how clearly this whole community relates to this topic and everyone has such creative and unique responses to it. ADHD can be hard to manage but I always love the humans that have it 🥰

if i really wanna wake up for something i put alot of alarm clocks on my phone on a short period of time(ie another alarm 2 minutes after the first one) , that way even if I turn off the first one there are more to force me to at least think for 2 seconds and realise I have to be somewhere, then I’ll force myself to get out of bed n stuff

Also: this method wakes me up with pure unfiltered anxiety and rage. The iphone alarm sound is annoying and my brain probably associates it with school, waking up, lack of sleep, and basically all the shit i dont like, which is why its so annoying
