Hard time waking up in the morning

I have the hardest time waking up in the morning. My pills don’t make me tired at night but i think they keep me from waking up in the morning. I take 50mg of olanzapine, 300mg of depacote and an antidepressant escitalopram ??mg. Does anybody have any advice on how to wake up in the morning? I go to bed between 8 and 9pm and need to be up at 6 to 7. I usually wake up when my alarm goes off at 6 and i’m out of it so i just turn off the alarm and go back to bed.

I had to put my alarm across the room so I wouldn’t just go back to bed like you, you know? Luckily there’s no where I have to be every day I just sometimes like waking up early and going for a walk.

Anyways, try putting your alarm across your bedroom and maybe it’ll help you from going back to bed?

Some of those meds sound pretty sedating, maybe taking them earlier at night will help your morning run smoother too.

I have an alarm clock with a vibrating buzzer that goes under the pillow.
