Welcome lesath!

I don’t have any direct feedback, but your post reminded me of a really similar recent thread. I don’t think I found it, but here are some the search dug up:

> I’m having a problem with my wake up goal. The idea was to choose a time the previous day to wake up and then to wake up by that time. But the problem I’m having is that I wake up in the middle of the night and don’t fall asleep till later. Or I’m exhausted and in need of sleep and I finally manage to get sleep. In which case I don’t actually want to wake up at my designated time - I want to get sleep and be well-rested. The only exception is if I actually have to get up at a certain time for …

> Hi all, inspired by this [post](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/how-do-you-enforce-getting-up-early-in-a-cheat-proof-way/4969/5), I’m trying to learn how to use IFTTT and Webhooks to make a habit of waking up by 10AM. I’ve got a Webhooks applet going that sends +1 to Beeminder when triggered but doesn’t enforce that I hit the trigger before 10AM. I am thinking of making a Do Less with the goal of 10 hours or less. Then I could extract the {OccuredAt} value from the Webhooks applet. I’m currently stuck on this step as I am unsure on how to get the correct piece of data from the applet. Any su…

I don’t Beemind get-out-of-bed time, but I did recently start using the SleepCycle app, which “listens” to you sleeping to supposedly wake you when you are most alert, in a 30-minute window. So far it’s working really well for me. It doesn’t stop you from staying in bed, of course, but maybe waking more well rested could be a factor in helping you to get up more promptly?
