What worked for me to fix my sleeping schedule was replacing alarms with timers. Instead of a fixed alarm at 6 I switched to timers of varying length until I found my sweet spot. Also started lying in bed earlier. I found the timer sweet spot to be 7 hours 30 minutes, but now with my sleep schedule fixed I went back to alarms and currently am able to wake up by myself before my first alarm at 5:45
That would be good, except my work doesn’t allow me sleeping in a timeframe more suitable for me, also I’m on a medication quite infamous for ruining people’s sleep (Depakene) with no way for me to switch (health care is terribly underfuded, and doctors don’t have time for “checking out a thing that could be fixed with a mattress”).

How is a timer different from an alarm? Except more pressure to fall asleep immediately? Also just set your alarm for 7.5 hours ahead though?
