How do you wake up like a workshop elf?

[Davey Woo]

Try getting a couple more hours sleep, so you're looking at 6-8 hours rather than 5. Also try to do something relaxing before going to sleep, I dunno watch some boring TV or something, but something that means your brain gets a rest before completely shutting down completely for sleep.

For an alarm get like a radio clock or something so you can tune into a station you like and you'll get woken up by cool music, then after about 30 minutes or so have your main alarm go off.

Apart from that it's just will power.

I agree with what a lot of other people have been saying, that you need more sleep. 5 hours of sleep is no where near enough, and I'd suggest at least 8, if not a little more.

Although, that could do nothing, you could just be a very heavy sleeper. And if thats the case, well, theres not much you can do other than buy one of those whacked out commercial pharmaceuticals that'll give you six different kinds of cancer as a side effect. Hopefully, that's not the case.

Rig a bucket of water above your head, when you want to wake up, set some clock to set it off, that will wake you up.

Sleep on the floor. Seriously. Fold a quilt in half and sleep on that (makes the floor a little softer without making it like a bed/futon). You will wake up waaaay easier.

Sounds nice. I'll give this a shot sometime, maybe when I rid myself of the paranoia of cockroaches & spiders skittering all over my floor.

Well, I figured I could use some more time sleeping. Usually I don't sleep because I feel like I have a ton of stuff I have to do (for entertainment or anything) that I don't have enough time for. Other times, like tonight, it's because I'm busy removing a heavy infection on my PC that's seriously screwing around with me. My PC is like an extension to my brain, if it's infected, I'm infected. I also depend on my PC for college, so I want it to be running well at all times.

Simple answer: Guilt?*...

Yeah, I noticed that works well. One of my teachers took phone numbers from all students in the class (around 7 students) & would call them if they were ever absent. It was my first class of the day, & I felt guilty whenever she called. That semester I ended up waking up like a volcano erupting. That semester has passed, however, & the other rather annoyingly crappy teachers/professors I have now don't make me feel guilty at all.

Attach electrodes to painful parts of your anatomy and wire them into your alarm clock! An electric shock to the nuts should do the trick!

LOL I wouldn't mind. I can prolly actually make that myself, except batteries don't tend to give much of an electric shock, & clocks that get plugged into AC sockets tend to have complicated innards, making it tough to implement. Also, I've had enough of being electrocuted -_-
