[quote=Anonymous]The multiple alarms are training her to ignore alarms. Her sleepy brain doesn’t know if it’s the 5:30 alarm or the 6:00 alarm or whatever, it just knows that there is probably another one in a while. It’s doing nothing but interrupting her sleep. It sounds like there is an 8:13 bus across the street? Aim for that one. She needs to be up at 7:10 to make it, right? So that is her alarm time, 7:10. Now do all the things recommended - a wake light, bed shaking alarm, alarm across the room, or an app that makes her do something to prove she is up before it turns off. Give that a try. If it doesn’t work then you rearrange your schedule so you physically get her up at 7:10 until it gets to be a habit, gradually reducing the support you provide until she can do it alone.[/quote]
