You can't fix being a morning person in the morning. So tips on morning routine, setting alarm clocks and jumping out of bed don't really work.
I had always considered myself very much an evening person but have managed to become a morning person in the last year or so.
It's important to recognise that the body has 2 natural alarm clocks - needing the bathroom and hunger.
Without these urges it's easy to keep sleeping. With them it's easy to get up and stay up.
Feeling alert in the morning comes from schedule and diet
First, over a few weekends catch up on any sleep debt. Reasonably early nights and sleep in until you've had your fill. No alarms and no early starts necessary.
Then over the course of a few weeks improve your water intake. At least 2L spread across the day. Try and eliminate caffeine and sugar especially after dinner.
Ensure you are not eating dinner too late, you will not be hungry for breakfast if you're still eating late into the night.
Over time you will start to feel more alert, less groggy and get to know how many hours is best for you.
At first it takes some trial and error but finding the right balance makes it easy.
