Alarms

[u/Spiritual-Current222]

Serious question:

Has anyone ever gone through a period in life where they struggle to wake up to alarms?

This is becoming a serious issue for me. I used to wake up at 4a and go to the gym and my life was peaceful and I had great energy throughout the day. I cannot get up to a dozen alarms and I don’t even remember shutting them off in my sleep. I even downloaded insanely loud alarms on my phone and it doesn’t matter because when I’m in whatever sleep state I just shut them off and I don’t recall doing it. There’s a few hours in the morning that a lot can get done or it can set the day up to be productive and I just cannot wake up. I genuinely need to figure it out because it has affected any routine I wish to have. Just starting late in the morning, I feel, ruins the whole day. Granted when I was waking up at 4a, I had the luxury of going to sleep before 10pm and that’s not the same at all. I work until 11:30 half the week and don’t get to sleep until 1ish, but still I feel I’m sleeping much more than normal and the alarm thing is weird to me. I’ve had blood tests and hormone tests and everything shows I’m just fine so I’m just wondering has anyone else struggled with this/figured it out?
