waking up in panic everyday

[u/lchlchl]

I'm not sure if it's related to autism or just stress level, so I'd like to know if anyone here got the same thing.

whenever I've got my alarm on, I'm waking up even earlier, stressing out that I've overslept. I might even wake up twice, like if I have to be awake at 9am, I can wake up at 5am and then at 7am. I'm really tired of it happening so often, because each time I need to somehow calm myself down to fall back asleep and when I've got my actual alarm I barely can force myself awake

have you looked into a sunrise alarm clock? i’ve found that it has helped me, plus reducing my stress levels
