Sleep early, nothing deserves staying late for.
Wake up and get directly out of the bed before checking your phone

anytime I've gone to bed before midnight I have woken up around 1-3 in the morning

Same, than I'm awake until 8 in the morning. It's obnoxious.

It happens a few times at first, and it sucks, I used to sleep at 10pm and wake up alerted and well rested at around 2 am.
It works with consistency.
Now I sleep at 10-11pm and wake up around 6-7 am

The has happened to me often. I found that its a sign of low blood sugar.
godlyvex t1_j9e2h8r wrote
so should I eat things with a bunch of sugar? also does it mean I have diabetes?

Here is a good article that explains it. It doesn’t mention diabetes, but I can’t say for sure if it should be ruled out. https://balancewomenshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Do-You-Bolt-Awake-at-3-AM.pdf

Best to talk to a doctor. If you have diabetes your blood sugar could be dropping on its own, but it can also be caused by other things, such as consuming too much sugar in your regular diet.
Eating too much sugar can spike your triglyceride levels, this screws with your pancreas, which screws with your body's ability to process sugar, which can lead to diabetes and/or pancreatitis.
There are easy to recognize foods that are high in sugar that aren't difficult to cut out, like desserts or soda, but there are also a lot of kinds of foods that are high in sugar that aren't immediately obvious, such as bread and alcohol. Sugar from fruit is no different, some people get it in their head that it's better because fruit is supposed to be healthy, but it's not.

look up "first and second sleep" on google. You might have biphasic sleep rhythm. This article changed my outlook on sleep and made me realize that I'm not broken. I'm just this: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16964783

I get out of bed immediately when the alarm goes off. Do not press snooze! Stumble to kitchen and start my coffee. Then bathroom wash face. Turn on as many lights as you can.
