Press the snooze button!...5 more minutes.

[ScallyWag II]

My alarm hasn't got a snooze button, so if I feel in need of a bit more dozing I reset the whole thing

 

[sojourner]

I used to snooze for an hour or so. Since I've been back from Oz, I'm up before the alarm clock, time to make a cuppa, some toast... love it, hope it continues!

It's temporary. You just had massive boosts of Vit D - it'll wear off

 

[quimcunx]

Today I switched it proper off, lay there till after 10am then phoned in ill. Went back to bed after 11am and have just got up... Bleuch.

 

[madzone]

I tend to wake up half an hour or an hour before the alarm goes off and fall asleep again ten minutes before I have to get up. This morning the dog woke me up at 5.11am doing some weird kind of dream howling thing. I fell asleep again about 6.35 and the alarm goes off at 7

I hate that it's dark when I get up so I tend to hit the snooze (9mins) but be too scared to actually fall back alseep so I spend the next 9 mins doing some weird kind of eye fluttery thing to try to keep them open

 

[moomoo]

I set one alarm for 7 am (I've killed the snooze button on that one) and my mobile goes off at 7.10 and I get up at 7.20.

Snooze-addicts might like to try a 'dawn simulator' which slowly brightens the room over a 30 minute period. It's supposed to be much more natural and gets you off to a better start. Never tried it myself, though.

I got one of these for Christmas!

I was hoping it might be a miracle cure for snooziness - it's not, but it does definitely have an effect.

I couldn't rely on the light alone to wake me up - I've got it timed to come on just before my radio alarm. However, now I'm generally slightly awake before the radio comes on rather than a startling "WTF, surely it's the middle of the night?!" rude awakening. I can still turn over and go straight back to sleep though.

The only down side is that if I've turned away from the light and buried my head under the duvet, it does nothing.

My new phone came with 6 alarms. And more addable. Each with snooze.

7.00
7.20
7.30
7.40
7.50
8.00

set this morning

Though got up at 7.30

 

[blossie33]

No problem getting up. Never need to use an alarm clock - hate the things anyway.

 

[5t3IIa]

When I was a kid my mum used to come into my room and turn my radio on to wake me up. Then as I got older and more teenagery she used to come in and slightly de-tune the radio so I *had* to get up to turn it off.

Keto gets up between 6 and 7 and uses the snooze button during that time. I have my own alarm on my phone which goes off at 7:30. I usually snooze it til 7:50 though.

I hate waking up after my wife has gone. I want snoozlehugs

I have one fo these and it changed my life, It's like waking up to sunshine, it even has a setting to make nature sounds.

Argh I had forgotten I wanted one of these ! They are quite pricey I think but I struggle to wake up (always have) and hate the guilt feeling I get if I don't get out of bed.

It's my new years resolution to get out of bed especially on days off !

I usually blame my erratic sleep habits on working shift work so my aim is to get a job with regular hours !

 

[Chester Copperpot]

I would love to try one of those.

Not on the weekends though natch!

I hate you

 

[moose]

I set the alarm for 6.30 and wake up at 6.28 to cancel it.
That's after I've been woken up by the cat at 4, and mr moose revving the campervan in the street at 5am.

 

[Geri]

I usually get up before the alarm goes off - I don't even need it really. I wake up ridiculously early and lie in bed awake until it's time to get up. Very occasionally I go back to sleep.

 

[madzone]

And again

 

[Geri]

And again

Don't envy me, it's no fun never being able to lie in! Even at weekends I can't sleep late.

Neither can I - I force myself back to sleep and then wake up feeling like shit. Best is when I wake up at normal time and make a cup of tea and then lie in bed reading until 11

 

[Herbsman.]

Depends how well I've been sleeping. Never snooze unless I've been going to bed too late or not sleeping properly

 

[chooch]

its 9 minutes on my alarm

my clever friend claims this is to maximise the number of digits changing each time you look at the clock.

 

[maes]

i generally don't have a problem waking up, up before any alarm goes off & can't sleep in at all... it's pretty good, yay for brain.

if i'm depressed/stressed/in love then it all changes, i guess because i feel like avoiding the outside world more. stress is the culprit these days, i snoozed for 20 minutes today! quelle horreur!
