This one's more for the ones with ADHD but I keep a drink bottle and my ritalin next to my bed. When my alarm goes off I take the ritalin and chug the water (or something like juice if I really need the novelty). I don't have much of a chance of falling back asleep and wasting my morning after that and it means I can actually spend the morning doing whatever I need to. We're in autumn here in Aus so I keep a blanket by the bed that I throw over myself for the walk to the bathroom in the morning because I'm such a wimp about the cold. Also, not morning, but morning related: I leave my wallet and outfit I want to wear tomorrow in the bathroom over night so it's there when I go to shower in the morning, and I'll sometimes prepare breakfast the night before, which both make my mornings so much easier.
I really struggle with functioning at the same times as most other people (DSPS) and I'm bad with time management so any little things like that help vastly.
My partner sets two alarms, one an hour earlier when they take the adhd medicine and go back to sleep. It has sped up their bed -> outside time significantly.
Thatβs what I do too. Works really well for me. Might add in the drinking more water part though, I could definitely use some more hydration in my life.
