Is there anything that can help to get used to wake up early?

Question: I'm one of those people who reach their top efficiency in the evening. I can work till late at night, but find it extremely difficult to wake up early in the morning. I'm in my 40's, had to wake up early for all my life but just can't get used to it and feel physically unwell every time. Going to sleep early does not help. I can sleep 10 hours and feel bad if I wake up early, or sleep 5 hours and feel OK if I wake up not before 8! The world's timetables seem to have been programmed by people who like waking up early, so I must survive with it..........Any suggestion?

Answers:
I have two alarm clocks. One on my bedside table and one outside my bedroom door which is set for a couple of minutes later than the one on the bedside table. Unless I want to wake the whole house up and get in trouble with everybody, I have to get out of bed to switch it off. By the time I'm up, it's fairly pointless getting back into bed.

Have nice stuff to get up for. Eating a big breakfast is healthy so buy nice stuff to eat and drink in the morning or get a newspaper delivered so you have something to get up for.

Routine is also really, really important. Don't sleep late at weekends. Make sure you get up at the same time every day (give or take an hour) otherwise it upsets your body clock and you will struggle the next day.

You will probably always struggle and I agree, the world does seem to be geared towards morning people which is unfair.
