Step 1: Get an adequate amount of sleep
Step 2: Force yourself out of bed in some way
Step 3: Start your day
It's super abstracted, but only because it's up to you to figure out where your issue lies. Are you getting enough sleep? Do you need to move your alarm across the room to be able to force yourself to get out of bed even if you got enough sleep? Why do you not want to start your day? Etc.
Tons of tips online on what you can do, but no one can really say what works for you.
I have struggled with this a lot myself and haven't found that quantity of sleep really impacts my morning willpower at all, at the end of the day forcing myself out of bed has been the bread and butter solution, now the trick is to get myself to do that consistently... At this point I don't think there's any miracle solutions besides just sucking it up and forcing through the habit forming period of running it up every day for several weeks - weekends included!
I’ve always struggled with this and echo the comment of getting an adequate amount of sleep and forcing yourself to actually get out of bed. I’ve found the app Alarmy has been helpful because you can set tasks for yourself before the alarm will stop. (I set mine for math problems and typing specific sentences.) Charging your phone across the room will force you to stand up out of bed also.
It couldn’t hurt to look into your quality of sleep, also. I finally got a cpap machine for sleep apnea and mornings have gotten a lot better. (I’m overweight myself, but I’ve recently discovered sleep apnea can affect people of varying sizes, so if you’ve been told your snoring is bad, getting help can be huge!)
Either put your alarm further from your bed or get [an alarm that moves](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=30517ea669904188&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn09cwcsuIQzCl04K-RGpjBFlgXYipQ:1714437561341&q=mobile+wheels+alarm+clock&uds=AMwkrPslcXSQHreBaePtqrJolDJ4AJTsziUSaAF6hjZiunF8POgkd8ck-tZl7SDThAV1TH2-nK57MoC5QcEQIWlmpccC1l10xBA_e5HIPvvMB-ib7jvmpQIBgCUzzvHluac_FPR6lJEFxp8DWBvO-o_RPVO5pVFGtzongCw6l2_MdOhDgr8b8i4U9mT6Rgiv-Jd3EqHOrH5Lerl650WVnmH6yZk0vuLd40EiyKSnICrn_NRHF8in6-TiozzPpzP1zOoYCUyj0P5Ewc5b40eC2u966quTHbTv7acXpCXxRT9K-5Gta6bZ6-zvJ2gu5CfX7CZI0i_bw2q1isyQ6FklNeYSLltnWaZFgw&udm=28&prmd=ivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjv59TO2eiFAxWc5MkDHX1FBFYQtKgLegQIDRAB&biw=384&bih=722&dpr=1.88) so you have to actually get up and walk to turn it off
Other alarm tricks that are harder to turn off: there are a few apps where your alarm is tied to a set of math or logic problems. You can set it so that you have to do some set number of problems in order to turn the alarm off. That gets your brain working and your eyes open. At that point, you might as well get up.
In addition to the other triks here; train yourself to get up automatically to the sound of the alarm: In the daytime, set the alarm a minute or so ahead, lay down in bed and get up at the sound of the alarm. Do this repeatedly, eventually also while dozing off, to Pavlov yourself into getting up when the alarm sounds.

Put the alarm on the other side of the room. Also stop looking at your phone at 8 pm.

Try to put the phone away from your bed so when you hear the alarm you have to wake up and try downloading challenge alarm .
