You gotta just stand up. Even if you walk around with your eyes barely open, it's better than laying back down. Waking up in the middle of a shower is a heck of a lot better than waking up late for work
Oh, "just stand up" you say? Wow, after that I could "just get everything important done" and "just make everyone happy".
I have a better idea: I'm gonna go back to sleep.
I don't know if it'll help you, but I envision myself as having two mes: Sleep Me and Awake Me. Sleep Me is an asshole who'll ruin my life just to stay asleep for as long as possible. He fights tooth and nail to keep Awake Me from taking control of my body. ”I'm gonna go back to sleep" is Sleep You talking. They're trying their hardest to convince Awake You that you can't possibly stand up until Sleep You has had their fill of sleep, but it's not like "just be happy" or "just pay attention–" you can control your legs!
Sleep Me killed Awake Me and now wears his skin in a pale mockery of conscious thought. Sleep Me's true name is ADD.

Can I? Often I seriously lie in bed, mentally going through the motion of getting up step by step the whole time convinced I'm doing it, only to notice seconds later I have not moved at all.
I want to so badly, but unless there's the time pressure of having to get up or there'll be bad consequences, I just... can't
Imagine not realizing that you actually need healthy sleep
You gotta just stand up.
That's the hard part.
It's very easy once you realize you're late.
When I wake up late or about to be late, I will be up and dressed before my feet hit the floor. It's an amazing ability
It's not if you put your phone out of grabbing reach and use an annoying alarm.
Derr achullaly...
But I wake up so snug tho and just need a few more mins

That's Sleep You talking! FUCK Sleep You! They don't give a shit about you, or your success in life, or your mental health. They exist solely to make sure you sleep as much as possible and they're given way too much power to achieve that goal
I get on my phone immediately. Makes it really hard to sleep.
My one cat usually sleeps on top of me so I can't just stand up. And when he isn't sleeping on me and the alarm goes off, he'll come in running for snuggles and make me fall asleep again.
Cats are truly our greatest enemy in life. My Athena doesn't much care for Awake Me, but as soon as I fall asleep she wants to be as close as possible. If I didn't grab my phone, I'd be back to sleep cuddling her as I type this
