What can I do against the urge to not stand up at morning?

Idk.. I always hate myself for sleeping until 1pm but also always no matter what I do... nothing motivates me to stand up... idk when this started or what it caused.. but.. I can't motivate myself to stand up... I can't kick me in the ass and say: STAND UP BITCH.. But I always hate myself for missing half of they day for sleeping or laying in bed until fucking 1pm or now even 2pm..

could try lighting a nice scented candle or smthn, or play some music. tho personally i find opening my window helps, all the ambient sounds help be get up
Romanticize ur morning maybe. Start getting up super early while it smells like dew outside and find some sorta physical activity u like to do to start ur day or watch the weather and sunrise. I used to wake up at like 6PM and schedule all my school classes at night and one day I flipped it and decided I'd go look at the stars and the clouds in the morning. I always end up taking a million pictures because it's stunning. Maybe if u find something u enjoy about morningtime it will motivate u, but otherwise the afternoon/night owl life can be very nice too
That's why I set my alarm on full blast to scare the life out of me, to really make the fear overpower the siren call of bed comfy ☺️
Maybe an alarm? I personally put myself into a routine, I feel no obligation but it involves feeding my cat early so I got pressure
If you can, get yourself some social pressure. Have a good friend call you in the morning and tell you to get up. Maybe even a videocall!
Otherwise - try to find stuff that motivates you in the morning and set yourself rules. For example, make yourself a fancy breakfast or prepare a tasty drink and absolutely forbid yourself to consume it in your bed.

Bc once you got up, it's usually easier to stay up.
