She asked: "Please could you give me your tips on how to get up early in the morning (around 7ish, for example) but still feel well-rested and have a good night's sleep?"
The post was soon met with dozens of helpful responses from other parents.
Several said a fail-safe tip is to place your alarm out of arm's reach.
One explained: "Phone other side of the room or on the landing and then once you get out of bed to turn it off straight into the bathroom and turn the light on.
"This gets me bleary eyed to fully awake within a few minutes."
Others relied on bright light to help get them going in the morning, with one posting: "Sleep with curtains open a bit and naturally wake up with the sun rising. Just get up for a while and before you know it you will be an early riser."
Another said: "I swear by a Lumia sunrise alarm clock."
The radio and a gradual alarm both proved popular options but others said not having an alarm set was the key to a peaceful morning.
One user explained: "May sound bizarre, try not having an alarm. I haven't used one in years. Your body adjusts to waking at roughly the same time each day. Downside is weekends, but then you can always go back to sleep."
A handful of playful parents also suggested children were the ultimate wake-up call.
But perhaps the most creative idea came from one woman who put her money on the line when it came to waking up on time.
