I used to have an alarm clock that would shake my bed, and could be as loud as 120 decibels iirc.

I hated the damn thing. Now i just get up when i feel like it haha.

iPhone alarm clock. Shower. Coffee.

Yes, I'm boring.

I don't mind waking up, what I mind is someone else waking me up THREE HOURS before I would have.

In case you're curious, yes, I was just awakened by loud music. :dry:

I hate that state of consciousness between sleeping and being fully awake. When I'm in that state I'm the laziest, and at the same time most determined, bum you'll ever see. It doesn't matter how many alarm clocks I set, how loud I set them or how far away I put them away from my bed, I WILL find a way to turn them all off and get back in bed, getting up periodically to press the snooze button for an hour. When I was a kid I actually used a clear plastic container, a hinge, two handles and a combination lock to make a little cage to put some alarm clocks in, the rationale being that if I was forced to sit there for 15-30 seconds unlocking the cage with the alarm blaring, I wouldn't go back to sleep. Nope! And once I figured out I could bypass the lock by pressing hard enough on the area of the cage that was over the snooze button, I just gave up on it altogether. :brokencomputer:

I forget what it was called, but a few years ago there was a show on the Discovery Channel in which a team was given a short amount of time to make a functioning prototype of some random idea. In one show they made a bed inside a pod that, when it was time for you to wake up, would rise off the floor into a vertical position and a shower would activate. If I ever have enough disposable income to make one for myself I really want to. I don't even care if it'd be a jarring experience, I figure I'd only use it if I really need to wake up at a certain time anyway.

I hate waking up. I used to always turn my alarm off without actually waking up or just sleep through it, until I started to leave my phone (which is my alarm as well) on the other side of the room for the night... And set iPhone's horrible http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?xl=xl_blazer&v=obQNPLG5JSY as my alarm noise. It gets me out of bed and to the other side of the room faster than I'd ever thought possible.

If God created the sunrise the devil turned it into morning.

The worst part is waking up one hour ealier than the alarm clock... :sadvaultboy: Also, waking up at the same time for weekends... :sadvaultboy:

Just like my boyfriend. He can't stay in bed if he opens but one eye. He always was a morning person, I'm not.

Between the moment I'm aware that I have to get out of bed and the actual standing up, I'm the most irritated person on earth. My BF sometimes pulls the curtains, that's fine, he can kiss me on the neck, or cheeks or ears, that's fine... but if he tries to push me, I become so rude, he doesn't recognise me!

The best way to wake up is to have a significant other being so tender and sweet with you, one thing leads to another and, well, your body really wants to wake up! But that's not every morning...

I need a rough awakening to be woken up at all, I always somehow manage to sleepwalk my way to turn off my alarm (mom has caught me in the act doing this...) and if the alarm fails me my mom still tries to wake me up with words. A good slap or a punch would do me greater good.

That..... is awesome. Need to try it.



XD

I woke up todat at 6:45 instead of 7:00... And I was able to get out of bed straight away! Instead of the usual 7:30.
Amazing.

Back in high school I used to set the alarm an hour earlier so I could snooze for an hour before having to get up for real. Set the clock for six, get up at seven. Worked pretty well for me

On weekdays, I have to wake up at 5:50-6:05. The only thing I don't like about it, is that I know I have to put on my school's god-forsaken uniform. If I didn't have to wear a uniform, I wouldn't mind getting out of bed.

Thanks to homework, I'm not getting much sleep and I do hate waking up very much... except on a day when I don't have anything to do and during which I can just stay in bed while awake until I want to get up. The best place to wake up, for me, is in an area I'm in for a vacation. I love waking up to go outside to a warm, sunny day while hearing the waves of the ocean and seagulls on the beach before going to eat breakfast at a nice restaurant or, alternatively, waking up, stepping outside into a warm, sunny day, and going to Disney World.

5am start for me so its a massive caffeine/nicotine dose that works for me,not the most healthy but it helps

I only have trouble waking up if:

1. I didn't get a good night's sleep.

or

2. I'm waking up before the sun is up.

I wake up giving myself plenty of time to get ready and surf the web a bit (like right now!) before I need to leave for school/work. I don't like feeling rushed in the morning.

I hate the mornings. Hell..I hate the days I have to work on.

But, if I had my choice I'd be woken up every day by a different gorgeous woman completely nvde doing naughty things to me. But, that'll never happen and I have to deal with what I've got.

I take nightshift so I wake up usually around......4:00 pm if I have no school.

Usually I have to smack myself a few times in the face or stick my head into the sink with cold water to get up around 9:00am for school. My classes don't start till 12:00 but it lets me take my time with stuff. and squeeze in a few half sleeping minutes.

All of my lectures start at 10 a.m...


They all finish at 1 though, so I'm not really that bothered

I hate the late evening ones. 12-5 on Fridays.

Getting home late is the worst thing. I don't mind having to be somewhere early, but when I get home after 4, I feel like my day has disappeared and I don't have time to do anything. Like now for example, I got home about half an hour ago, and I really just can't be bothered with anything expect vegetating in front of this machine.

Some nights I have about two hours to eat and piss around on the internet before I have to go to bed in order to get up early the next day.

Waking up would require me to actually sleep through the night. I currently only get about four hours of sleep, and it's broken down into two hour increments.I have no problem getting up and jumping right into life, it's a gift. Get up, meds, bathroom, brush teeth, shower, gogogo, It is getting to sleep, that is my issue. I know I need to sleep more.
I also have to take meds in the middle of the night, or that require fasting so things like breakfast and coffee don't happen until later in the morning, after all of my running is done.
What would be awesome is getting up, not having to run errandsm drop off kids, etc. Just taking care of me, and having a nice lesuirely breakfast of a sunny side up egg, cantelope, two slices of whole wheat toast, a cup of coffee and the morning paper, UNINTERRUPTED.
