Please help me get up earlier?

I've got into a habit of only getting out of bed 5 minutes before my daily team call at 9.30. I literally can't get up any earlier. I live in a houseshare and my desk is right next to my bed. So I just reach over and open my laptop at 9.25. I always have my camera off, but some of my colleagues have theirs on and at 9.30 they have full faces of makeup, are dressed up, have been for a run etc. But I'm still in bed.

I really need to start getting up earlier and using my mornings to do something useful rather than lying in bed. Any tips for getting up?

I used to get up at 7 every day to commute. Sometimes I'd get up at 6 and go to the gym first. I just don't know how I did it. I've tried going to bed earlier but generally don't get tired until about 11.30/midnight.

(I work remotely, 9-5, just to clarify! My company doesn't care about me, nobody ever talks to me or contacts me outside of meetings. As long as the work is delivered on time they're happy).

Force yourself out the first couple of mornings, it’ll get easier after that
