Unfortunately it's not just "some days". If there is a time sensitive thing I actually have no problem getting out of bed so that's not my problem.

The desire has to come from you and your head I think, not from outside. You say you feel better when you get up earlier/more consistently so you have to work with that and decide you want to feel better. No one else can give you discipline? It's like giving up smoking or overeating, starting an exercise program, etc. It's just a habit. Don't give it any more energy than it deserves. Anthropomorphizing the bed, if it does not work (as an "enemy" you want to get away from) should be dropped. It's just a simple decision; get up or don't. It's your decision each day, who do you want to be; what do you want to do?

I can't really anthropomorphize things like that lol. Hmm, so, it's not really just about discipline, I don't think so. It's not "just a simple decision" when your arousal levels are all wrong - too low in my case, to get up. Desire will not come from me/my head that way.
I'm going to try the caffeine pill suggestion for that...
