Tickling his feet lol I do that with Eastin sometimes.

Does he possibly have a favorite show he likes to watch or does he like to shower in the mornings? My daughter is 4 and nonverbal so I know it might be a little different. But I know when i open the door to her room and she hears the shower going she will pop up and go straight to it lol. Or if that doesn't work I put on her favorite movie on my bed and give her time to watch for a little bit. Because it gets her out of her bed and moving to another room. But your idea of maybe getting up a little earlier is so smart and such a good idea :) I had to start doing that with her because it ensures time in case we are having a rough morning! But know you are doing a wonderful job 👏 😊

Music alarm might do to trick or radio turns on for when alarm time goes ? Radio alarm clock excellent for me! It really gets me up!

Perhaps, he needs an earlier bedtime?
That was always an issue with P. He's 15 and growing, so he needs like 9-10 hours of sleep every night. We used to let him stay up a little later because of his age, but then we were faced with struggles in the morning getting him out of the bed. Teenage angst and all, you know. 🙃
Try an earlier bedtime time and see if that works. 😉

They have those alarm clocks that pulse soft light at a time before the actually beeping goes off- to help make an audio alarm less jarring (you can turn off the noise all together too) ? Maybe?
