Late for work as an intern

S&T intern over here having a ton of issues with waking up on early. It's a no brainer I know..... traders need to be at the desk on time. But I'm an idiot that just cant get out of bed, dont even know why. I obviously want to change this and I've tried all the common solutions but still the same issue........ and I end up being a few min late, sometimes more. Its extremely embarrassing and even though I've been told by my team that I do excellent work, this punctuality thing is f*king me up.

Anyone else out there that has an issue with lateness? How did you fix it? Also, curious to know how lateness (I'm talking 5-7 min) is treated on other desks/banks etc.

 

Try waking up half an hour earlier as your morning routine needs more time. I also fucked it up in the past during an internship – But I was working 9am till 00 to 2 AM some days. Still its no excuse for me.

 

I used to do S&T as well and I'm not an early riser. Get one of those alarm clocks that people who need hearing aid use. I got one from Amazon that shook the entire bed so bad that it was impossible to not wake up. Oh btw, you'll feel like you're waking up in the middle of an earthquake and it's not pleasant at all, so set a calmer alarm 10 minutes earlier.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
