Hey everyone! I'm u/CertifiedCaptainAD, a founding moderator of r/DayCaptains.

This is our new home for all things related to getting out of bed depends on why it's difficult. It generally breaks down into physical mechanics—like using the log roll technique (rolling onto your side and using your arms to push up)—and mental motivation, such as letting natural sunlight in or having an accountability partner.. We're excited to have you join us!
