Acceptance

I get seasonal affective disorder in the winter. Thirty minutes of the light therapy lamp first thing in the morning works wonders if you use it properly and consistently.

Biphasic sleep. One 5 1⁄2-6 hour block over night, one 90 minute siesta before work.

My "strategy" consists of going to bed at a fixed time and a modern electronic alarm clock that is 100% reliable.

One of those sunrise alarm clocks, going to bed more than 8 hours before it goes off, a neti pot or benadryl so I can breath while sleeping. Blackout shades, and an air filter that makes some soft white noise.

My only strategy is to try to get enough sleep. Coffee provides less of an effect and more of a feeling of an effect.

Yellow zzzquil at bedtime

Alarm clock set for an hour before you need to wake up, now spend that extra hour doing nothing or taking a morning nap.

Be consistent with the time you wake up and don't use the snooze button. Get out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off.

No screens for two hours before bed.

Shower and a cup of tea or coffee

Do you mean regularly or exceptionally?

If I need to get up early as an exception I just go to bed earlier and automatically tend to wake up before my early alarm.

Go to bed at 8:00 p.m.
