My alarm goes off i dont set multiple i get up on the first one. I had a stretch. Let the dogs out in the garden whilst i get dressed then out 
After the walk i will have breakfast and then get ready for work.
On a non work day i do the same just a little later and after i will have a bath/shower then a coffee maybe lay on the bed for a bit then breakfast

I know if I donāt get up, the day is ruined. If I sleep in a little, thats fine, but I find that if I just stick to a schedule, that I am less tired each day, and have more energy than if I had a varying sleep schedule. It just seems to go with the territory.
So when I get up, I know I have to stay up for quite a while, which makes me work out. If I do that, my body seems to have plenty of energy later

Donāt eat after 8pm.
Go to bed by 10pm. Even earlier is better.
Donāt watch TV before bed.
Get up at the same time every morningā¦
Set your alarm at put your phone on the other side of the room and make sure its connected to a loud Bluetooth speaker.
Get straight in the shower as soon as you get up.
Make your morning coffee.
Open the blinds and windows in bedroom.
Make your bed as soon as you get up.
BUT, most importantly, have a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and let that first reason be that āeverything is always working out for meā
Wake up with purpose and direction and you will soon be springing up out of bedā¦
EMPHASIS ON THE COFFEE !!!

I wake up between 5 am and 6am. My body just naturally wakes up. I LOVEEEE the early morning. Itās my favourite part of the day.
Once you start waking up at that time, after a while your body just craves it and you automatically just do it.
It may take a few weeks to get into the routine but as soon as your alarm goes off, just get out of bed. Get in the shower. Make coffee. Open the blinds and windows.

Thank you for this post.
I have had a massive amount of difficulty getting out of bed, and this has been going on for months. I just feel like a dead weight and roll over and go back to sleep. Iām seven weeks sober now and that hasnāt made the difference, and recent bloods show Iām in excellent health.
I donāt seem depressed, once Iām up, Iām fine, but unfortunately this is normally the afternoon!
Iām currently fighting to get my job back after 18months (a long story) which has been mentally draining, a real struggle over those months.
Iām going to try your idea of gently moving parts of my body instead of trying to leap out of bed, see if that works.
I go to bed at a reasonable time too, so who knows whatās going on with me. I feel like Iām sleeping for Australia!!

Definitely give it a try, I struggled for so long and am just starting to get the hang of things now!
Looking forward to a healthy colorful meal instead of toxins to poison my body. Coupled with a healthy read to feed my mind with positive thinking. Oh and definitely donāt forget coffee!

Awesome thank you for sharing that Iām going to practice everything you have there I never really thought of that stuff. Itās taking me 12 years to get to this point so as you see Iām a slow learner and an extremely hard headed person.

This is really excellent advice, but itās the getting from the bed to the shower bit that I find most difficult, how do you do that?
Hey Apes, you didnāt mention getting almonds ready for Mr Floof and Friends!!

Yeah i get what you mean. I donāt know, best is just to wake up, get out of bed and into the shower before the brain starts working. It needs to become something you look forward to, something you give yourself because itās beneficial for your health and it will help you.
My colleague did a Wim Hof course last month and now bought a freezer that he turned into an icetub in which he sits every day a bit longer, making a bit of a ritual out of it with candles, insence, music, etc. He told me today he gets almost like addicted to it, it gives him so much energy and good mood.
