How to wake up earlier?

I work a retail job. The manager who is in charge of making schedules always gives me closing shifts. The store I work for closes 9:30pm but sometimes I am out by 10:15pm or 10:30pm. Then I have to wait for a bus. Luckily the bus is a 10 minute tide and then 6 minutes of walking to my home.

Its usually between 10:30pm - 11pm when I arrive home. I get wired when I am home so I stay up until 1:30am or 2am and i sleep until my husband calls me at 10am (his first break at his job). How can I wake up earlier? I would love to be the person to wake at 7:30am. I tried the “setting your alarm and putting your phone far away so that you would need to walk to shut it off” trick but I ended up crawling back into my bed and next thing I knew it was 9:30am. What can I do to help me wake up earluer and have more day at home? Thanks

    Here's the thing

    Nobody can thrive on 5 hours of sleep a night and manage to live a healthy lifestyle! I can relate, I work nights as well and when I get home at 10:30pm, like you I am also wired and find myself staying up until 2-3am.

    The only recommendation I have, is giving yourself a limit for bed time when you get in! For instance, allow yourself that hour to un-wind before bed, and make it an effort to be in bed by 11:30pm, this way you can get 8 hours of sleep and be up for 7:30am.
