iamef, thanks so much for posting this! This is a problem I’ve also been attempting to solve for myself. I’d definitely love to collaborate on hack our own psychologies/physiologies to solve it together.
So far, I’ve tried journaling bedtime/risetimes, melatonin, cutting caffeine, and recently, using a Pavlok to wake at the same time every morning (which proved very effective at waking me up, but recently has started to fail, because my willpower in the morning has been so low that I go back to bed after waking about 65% of the time). My current hypothesis is that the low morning willpower is due to getting 6-7 hours to sleep.
I’ll probably reach out to you via one of the ways you mentioned later.
My personal take is that willpower over the long run is not sustainable; things ideally should feel natural, like a current flowing downstream. (This is my take from a lifetime of being flakey / failing to develop good habits)
