I used to do something similar to that, but after a while with my hair in a bun, it got very weak from being wet & pulled tight. It did cut down on the time though.

At night after I shower, I slick my hair back in to a pony tail or bun(with a scrunchy, no rubber pony tail holders) and sleep with it that way. When I get up the roots are all dry and straight, all you have to do are the ends. the roots are usually the hardest to do anyway IMO.

Do you blow dry your hair straight? If you don't, it would be easier if you blew your hair straight using the dryer & a large round brush. Then you can touch up with the iron to help smooth the hair.
I know what you mean, my hair is super curly when wet and I have
to go through the process of straightening too. But really I don’t think there
is a faster way to do it, it takes as long as it takes. You shouldn’t really
flat iron your hair when it’s wet. What I do is use my blow dryer for a bit
first and then just iron my hair in small sections, that way you don’t have to
go over it and over it, I found that when you do smaller sections you can go
over it once and its done. You could always get a little help with it from a
friend when you really don’t feel like doing it yourself. Or maybe try wearing
your hair up on days when you don’t feel like doing it. Try to hang in there though.
I have really curly hair and I want to straighten it with a
straightening iron. The problem is that I have no patience. my
straightening iron works really great...that's not the problem, I just
don't have the patience to straighten my entire head of hair. Can
anybody give me some tricks or tips that would help me be able to
straighten my hair really quickly with little patience needed.
