What really worked for me is having a full glass of water on my bed stand. Wake up and drink the entire glass. It really works immediately for me.

- fouric 5y agoI think the parent comment is aimed at people who have trouble waking up because they didn't get enough sleep, not just because they're sleepy.
- gremloni 5y agoSunlight in the eyes doesn’t fix that issue either.
- fouric 5y agoUm, it actually does, if you have a circadian rhythm sleep disorder (for which one of the treatments is light therapy, aka getting sunlight in your eyes[1]). Conversely, I'm not aware of any sleep disorders that are treated by drinking a glass of water in the morning.

- gremloni 5y agoAnecdotally it seems to work well even if I’ve had only 5-6 hours of sleep that night.
- fouric 5y agoI don't think that you have a sleep disorder, and so your anecdote isn't even usable as anecdata for those of us who do (including the top-level comment, which reads "I struggled with sleeping for 20+ years" - this isn't just "occasionally sleeping poorly").
