Please help; I can’t wake up in the mornings.

Vent

My baby is 3 months old, I’ve been back to work for about 3 weeks now. As the title states, I can’t wake up in the mornings.

Thankfully I work a job with a flexible schedule, so hopping on as late as 9am isn’t an issue, but I want to get onto work on time so I can workout in the evenings. I pump during the night as my baby sleeps through the night most of the time and don’t seem to have too much of an issue waking up to do that. I have no idea why I cant seem to get up in the morning.

I usually do alarms on my Apple Watch so it doesn’t wake the baby up. This works to wake me up to pump at night, but doesn’t seem to work when I get up in the morning. I would like to get up before her so I can get dressed/ready and then wake her up to eat & get out the door. Should I just set an audible alarm on my phone to wake us both up & then get ready after she is ready??

Please help I can’t keep beating myself up for this😭
