I get up most easily when I’ve slept enough. If I get 8 hours of sleep, I don’t even have to try getting up. I feel refreshed and am happy to get up. I’m not sure if the number of hours is 8, but from memory it seems to be around that much.
Right now, no, but that’s probably because I permanently have a sleep debt of who-knows-how-many-hours. If I have to get up early in the morning (which is usually), I’ll aim to go to bed 8 hours before I have to get up, which is never enough because I don’t fall asleep instantaneously. If I don’t have to get up early, I’ll usually stay up later (where “later” is midnight or so) and drag myself out of bed at some ridiculous-for-me hour of 9 or 9:30 am, because if I get up later than that I feel like I’m wasting my whole day. But there have been times in my life where getting up was easy EVERY day. Getting up at the same time every day helps, especially if that time is 7:30 or so...getting up at 5:00 always feels horrible, probably because it’s really hard to reliably be in bed by 9 pm when most people my age are night owls and want to socialize in the evenings. Maybe I could adjust to a schedule where I slept 9 pm to 5 am, but it would mean seeing people less.

Does anyone else have the same experience?
“I get up most easily when I’ve slept enough. . . Does anyone else have the same experience?”
I am going to go out on a limb and say that most of us have that experience.
