I have no fear and I don't give a flying fuss about anything.

I am student and I need to study for exams.

my problem starts in bed in the morning. I honestly, don't like waking up at all and starting my day properly these days.

I am not even depressed(I visited all psychaitrists 3-4 to confirm). when I am in sub conscious state like in morning, I just ignore life. I have this attitude of doing the bare minimum these days(I wasn't like this in the past, I strived to give my 100% in the past). I don't stay in bed because I need sleep. I am well awake after 8 hrs of sleep, but I hide my face with blanket listen to youtube and again sleep. (I am not addicted to smartphone or sth, I don't stay in bed using smartphone. I just hide myself into blanket and try to sleep, I don't even feel asleep ofc after the needed hrs, I just force myself inside bed.)

the thing that i wake up NOT ON TIME makes me sad and feel bad about myself at the start of morning and I lose my day just like that. So the key to my success is waking up on a set time, I tried some alarmy apps but they didn't really worked for me.

Is there sth else indirect types of alarm that would help me?
Any thoughts, inspirations, philosphy, motivation, advice that would help me in this case?

The catch here why I am procastinating is that I am studying for theory CS exams and I have a history of scoring bad gpa even after working hard which has made me hugely demotivated during my sub conscious state. When I am conscious, I make sure to do it.

@gaandu,
I submit to you that you are bored with your studies and/or hate what you are studying. You may be self-sabotaging your grades and not even know it.

Before you start complaining that I don't know what I'm talking about, do some introspection and determine if, deep down, you're happy with your life and your future ambitions.

You also need to reprogram your relationship with your bed and sleep. Here's some pointers.

1) Use an actual alarm clock, not an app. Keep the alarm on the loudest setting on the other side of the room. This will force you to walk over there to shut it off.
2) The way the morning goes begins with the previous afternoon (yes, really). Start with avoiding all stimulants after noon. This includes chocolate.
3) It also means getting serious exercise the day before. As in at least 10k steps-- and get them in before 8 PM. Look up caloric burn for that many steps if you're not a fan of walking. Find another exercise that you can do that will burn off a comparable number of calories and do it instead. But try walking first, as it's easy and free. It's also easy to get into when you're just starting out.
4) Going along with #1, leave your phone on a charger in another room. This also forces you to get up.
5) When you get up to pee in the morning, go back and make your bed. Don't disturb your made bed until you are going to sleep for the night. If you want to lie down for any reason during the day, do it elsewhere. This is why couches exist.
6) Got a TV in your room? Remove it. If you want to watch evening TV, do so elsewhere. And try to keep overstimulating stuff to a minimum after 8 PM.
7) Get blackout curtains, cover all LEDs, and keep the temperature a little lower than in the rest of the house. Use a fan for white noise. You want your bedroom to be conducive to sleep.

And finally, I submit that you would do well to talk to an employment counselor. There are classes you're going to be required to take. Nobody gets around that. But at least make those classes--and the ones that you love-- be working towards a goal that you truly want.

That's your motivation.

@gaandu,
Stop being a baby, get some coffee, and study. You need food then get whatever food substance you use. CS is not hard you need to study, along with mathematics up to Trigonometry. It is not hard just study. You need a tutor then find one via the college or elsewhere. If you have to get a bottle of beer, or whatever alcoholic beverage while reviewing then do so.

Your in college and that gun to the lobe called your grade is important then breathing air. Just study, study, study, and stop being a man child.

Study now, bitch later.

@PoliteMight,
I don't agree with your general sentiment but yes CS is pretty easier course compared to other STEM degrees, at least just to pass. It's abstract so it's not that easy to excel compared to other STEM degrees that have tons of mathematics to explain abstractions. Plus I can't find tutors in my country that's the problem. Foreign tutors won't be affordable at all.

@gaandu,
I agree with jespah's advice and I tend to ignore everything PoliteMight writes. I don't want to sound dismissive of PM but most of his/her advice sounds semi-hallucinatory. I'm sure he means well, it just often sounds delusional to me.
