What gets you up in the mornings?

[hooblabla6262]

I have a cell phone alarm. Up loud with a cringe-worthy alarm.
I must set it far from my bed, otherwise I will shut it off in my sleep.
I did just that this morning. Luckily, there are no consequences if I show up late to work.

Also, if my girl spends the night, I never want to get out of bed in the morning.
It becomes physically impossible =P

get roommates, considerate ones, not the jackasses.

I'd suggest getting one of those old fashioned alarm clocks with the bells and stuff. Good luck sleeping through that.

I have one of those but I stopped using it because I would sleep through it if I was really tired, most of the time it would wake me up straight away as its pretty damn loud but most of the time isnt good enough I find my phone alarm or the annoying digital beeps to be better for waking me up.

How the hell can you sleep through that??? Those things are not just loud, but shockingly loud, like someone banging on a pot right next to your head.

I found a way seriously I dont know how usually it would make me jump out of bed due to how much noise the damn thing made but I must have got used to it I think the problem is it dosent last that long so maybe subconsciously I thought if I ignore it it will go away unlike say my phone alarm which loops and doesnt shut up until I shut it up.

I gave up using it after being late for work on 3 separate occasions due to sleeping through it. but those times I did sleep through it I was really tired but it still failed in its job to rouse me something my phone alarm has yet to do.

Are we talking about the same type of alarm clock? 'Cause I thought those things kept ringing until you shut them off.

First is a pair of cat whiskers at around 5am because my cat wants to go out and murder things
A couple hours later is a loud alarm clock which I placed on top of my wardrobe so I have to walk up and shut it off due to previous placements failing me because of my addiction to "More Sleep"

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

My brave little old fashioned bell alarm clock. Every day cept thursday, the ringing goes at half past 5 in the morning, waking me up for college. That brave little alarm clock risks injury every time from my sleepy attempts to stay asleep via clock-violence but sure enough, I get up.

Dont know im on about the old ones you had to wind up the alarm on and it had two bells on top that were hit by a hammer in between sounded like a fire alarm when went off but of course it wouldnt last much longer than a minute as it would have wound down then.

Which ones you on about?

Oh, I guess we are talking about the same alarm clock. I didn't know they'd do that as I've never actually had one, I just assumed.

How about a stimulant? I set up my coffee maker before I go to bed so I can simply turn it on when I'm groggy and lazy.

I set two alarms. One in my room which I set an hour before I need to wake up, so I can wake up, start coffee then take a nap. The other alarm is set an hour later in a different room, so I have to get up to turn it off, and then I can grab a cup of brewed coffee. After that and a shower, I'm ready to go.

Above all it takes willpower. I always want to go back to bed, but I know if I tough out the first ten minutes I'll be happy I didn't waste any more of my day.

 

[SquidVicious]

Obligation is the best alarm clock I've ever had.

You can here to study, not to drink. if you came here to drink GTFO of university.

I don't drink, where did drinking come into it?! But yeah, I know I came here to study, that's why I'm trying to actually make my life more productive

 

[Kinguendo]

There is an alarm clock that donates money from your bank account to a political organization that you hate everytime you hit the snooze button... that would wake me up pretty damn fast!

Also, didnt MIT develop an alarm clock that runs away and hides when you hit the snooze?

 

[Lt._nefarious]

I have over 15 alarms on my phone, it vibrates and I have an alarm clock that is so loud it wakes up the entire house. Generally try and be up by 5 so I can get out the door by 10 to 8...

this was a precautionary disclaimer to cover the "but i had a party last night" excuse. If you dont drink all the better to you. So no problems with going to sleep at the right time then?

OT : A phone that plays stairway to heaven and is lost some place in my bedroom, gets me up every day.

I'd just air guitar in bed and fall asleep.

I usually wake up in anticipation of my alarm. Less so while I've been rehabing my back, but that's usually because I'm worn down due to pain. Conditioning's important.

I need a louder alarm. I usually wake up before my alarm clock, but when I'm sick or down, my alarm's a joke. Daredevil would have trouble waking up to it.

 

[Dr_of_Journalism]

Decent amount of sleep. It's tiredness that keeps you in bed.

 

[algalon]

I'm a light sleeper and I startle easily. I almost don't need an alarm. I get that most people can't help but sleep late if given the opportunity but if I need to be up at 5AM, I'll set the alarm for 5 but actually wake up at 4:55. I've always been that way. Maybe it's the idea of the annoyance of the alarm combined with my need for privacy in a house full of people that wire my brain to function on its own clock. There's an idea - room up with someone who hates noise. The fear of retribution might change your sleeping habits.

 

[Ice Car]

Parents. Loud noises and conversations might wake me up, but alarms will not. You have to make some sort of effort to wake me up all the time.
