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?

Of course it isn't, but it allows you to set your "alarm" 7,5 hours ahead precisely each time

But how? That's assuming you fall asleep instantly, in which case you could just set an alarm. My issue is that i set the alarm but then can't get my mind to quiet, and if anything the pressure of knowing that I had a ticking clock would make it worse. I already do that with rhe alarm.

Please mark this NSFL my cat almost had a heat stroke

Maybe I'm just stupid but, uh, how did this image almost give your cat a heat stroke?
