Aw Bean, do you have a diagnosis? I was pretty anti-stimulant at first, and have come around on them for this reason. I have a watch that vibrates an hour before I need to be up, take the stim, go back to sleep, and then waking up at my chosen time is easier. My sleep schedule rn is 4a - noon, so my watch buzzes at 11, the pill is in a ramiken, my water cup has a lid so I'm confident the water doesn't have anything in it, sometimes it's still cold. It has taken me 3 years to find a regiment to help wrest some control over my sleep schedule.
