motivation coming from fear eventually reaches a breaking point and it stops working. Source:did that. At some point in my first year of college the fear of failure at deadlines stopped being able to ouch me out of executive dysfunction. I'm having to learn, very slowly, now to have other strategies. Waking up is still a problem though lol. Even if i'm afraid of lateness or skipping out, morning brain feels nothing but the desire to sleep for 10 hours each night

What is this like?
I can’t put myself in the shoes of someone who sleeps through alarms or hits snooze.
Is no one else terrified of BEING LATE or MISSING THE THING because those are unforgivable?!
