How to get going in the morning???

Well if your younger it tends to be more common.
Some people literally take thier whole lives to adapt to early schedules.

I've tried everything imaginable. I now have 2 alarm clocks (1 I have to stand on a chair to shutoff) and BOTH plugs are taped to the wall so I can't pull the wire when I'm still in bed.
(scotch tape so its hard to see lol)

I still get up, shut both clocks off, go back to bed and fall asleep.
My brother has ALWAYS been like a rabit out of the sheets.
And the ONE thing he does different is he has a SET bed time and never veers from it at all. When 10pm comes no matter what he's watching or how loud his gf's yelling at him (when shes here) he gets up, and like a machine goes to bed.
He also doesn't watch tv in his bed which is huge.

Your bed has to be a trigger for sleep, so the only thing you should use it for is laying down and going right to bed, not reading magazines or w/e.
He also wakes up exactly 5:30am every morning and goes right to the gym. So no matter even if he has work or not that day, he still has a reason (in his mind) to wake up and go workout.
I still think the thing he does thats hardest for me is going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time nearly everyday in the month. Like right now its 1am. 11pm came by and I said "shit I should go to bed", than final destination came on and 2 hours later I'm here enabling my insomnia further typing a stupid fvcking response to someone who it realistically won't even help lol.
So I think discipline first, than it will become habitual later. I had an easier time quitting smoking than a regular sleep schedule, (which I still don't have) so its def not easy.

I can relate to this post than perhaps any other I have read. Btw I like the put one alarm clock up high idea, I'll have to try that.

I used to set multiple alarms but after the first one goes off I turn off all the others then go back to bed. My decision making is terrible in the morning, I always think that I will be better off with just a little more sleep. I always end up over sleeping. If I'm particularly tired, I just sleep through my alarm for up to an hour or two. I get bad reception so can't have it play music in case the reception gets lost and nothing plays so I have to use the beep function and its not all that loud. I should probably by a better alarm clock or something.
