I have plenty of issues myself (including insomnia) however this is more a question for both myself and partner. I have difficulties waking up due to the sleeping meds I'm on (I have a couple different prescriptions and go between benzos, Seroquel, and dipenhydramine), it's the Seroquel that is the worst for me and I have missed appointments because of it. In fact, when my ex had keys to my apartment, maintenance people knocked on my door for over an hour until my ex could make it over, they fixed something, and still I didn't wake up. But I generally just sleep for 10 hours max (usually only 7 or 8 but max 10). My boyfriend doesn't take any medication at all, he doesn't have any mental health issues. And he's an adult, over 30 years old, but we just moved in together relatively recently. But he cannot wake up in the morning. The alarm will go off for an hour without him waking up (I'll be in a separate room and hear it). And his alarm is pretty loud. Once (on a weekend, no work) he slept for 20 hours. He wasn't lacking sleep or anything at that point but just slept for 20 hours.
I mean, louder alarms, alarms across the room, I know those are ideas, I don't know if there are any other ideas.
We both need to develop better sleeping habits (same times every day) but we are working on that, so I'll admit that's a work in progress.
But any suggestions on adults having difficulties waking up in the morning?
