Staff Answer

Tell your parents and ask them if they might be able to have a talk to the person responsible for school runs. It's also important to have your parents find another way to get you to school on time if this continues to be a problem.

Question

How do I make myself get out of bed early enough in the morning?

Community Answer

Get to bed early the night before so you're not too tired in the morning. Set an alarm on your phone, or set a few alarms if you tend to turn your alarm off. Sometimes it helps to set the alarm and place it across the room so you'll have to actually get up to turn it off. Once you're up, you're less likely to go back to bed.

Question

How do I make sure I won't miss my alarm?

Community Answer

If you're worried about sleeping through your alarm, set 2-3 alarms for 10-15 minutes apart. Turn the volume all the way up. You could also ask a parent, sibling, roommate, etc. to make sure you're awake.

Question

How do I stay awake in the morning when getting ready for school?

Community Answer

Take a shower first thing in the morning to wake yourself up, or at least wash your face with cold water. After that, start getting ready and think about all the things you have to look forward to that day. This will keep you upbeat and motivated. If possible, avoid having a lot of downtime where you might just sit around and end up falling back asleep.

Question

What do I do if I can't get enough sleep when getting ready for school?

Community Answer

Make sure you can prepare as much as you can the night before. Taking a shower in the morning can help you wake up. Also, it is recommended to avoid any electronics an hour before you sleep. Time yourself how long it takes for you to get ready for school; it is helpful if you wake up an hour before you leave the house.

Question

What can I do if I can't sleep?

Community Answer

Develop a good bedtime routine so you're relaxed and ready to go to sleep when you get into bed. Try to clear your mind completely and just focus on your breathing while you're trying to fall asleep. This is a basic form of meditation and it really helps. Make sure you're not looking at your phone or other devices for at least 30 minutes prior to going to bed.

Question

My parents won't let me shower the night before and even if I do, I still have to shower in the morning. What should I do?

Community Answer

Convince them that taking a shower at night will save you more time in the morning to get ready. If it doesn't work, don't argue with them. Raise it again in another 6 months time.
