I think showering before bed has its benefits: Sheets stay cleaner (esp since I have white sheets), if I take a shower in the morning I just want to crawl right back in bed which is not conducive for leaving on time, shower takes 10-15 minutes which can be spent sleeping.
I budget in 2-9 minute snooze sessions, gives me enough time to slowly wake up. The x-gf bitched about it, but as long as I stuck to 2 she dealt with it. If I rush and stay off nyspeed before I leave I can hit snooze a third time. lol.
I fall asleep around 12:30 then wake up around 1:30 then fall back asleep at about 5:45 out of pure exhaustion. The next thing I know my wife’s alarm clock is going off at 6:00. I fall back asleep and she comes in at 7:45 and says are you going to work or not?!?
EVERY DAY! And it sucks!
I have my clock set ~30 minutes ahead of the real time. Usually I remember that in the AM and hit snooze in ~1 second. But I change it occasionally from 5 minutes fast to 45.
It’s really fun when I forget, jump out of bed, shower, then get downstairs and see the real time.
Usually I hit snooze a few times, depending on how many times I had to wake up and get one of the kids back to sleep.
If I keep hitting it, the wife hits me… Then I cop a feel, get rejected and hit the shower.
My wife’s alarm clock makes the most obnoxious fucking noise on the face of the Earth. It claws at my soul it’s so fucking irritating… Yet she barely wakes up when it goes off.
Hence I wake up every morning resisting the urge to punch my wife to get her to make that god awful noise stop. Usually a kick or an elbow does the trick. Then I hit my snooze a few times.
Then I get up, shower, get dressed, say fuck it to making breakfast I’ll just buy a $20 dollar egg mcmuffin at the cafeteria rather than be late.
My mornings would be so much more pleasant if I just got up at 6:30, before my wife’s alarm clock started screaming, and while I still had time for bacon…
Ive tried a variety of these early morning tactics but with little success.
How about modding your alarm clock? this looks intersting
also for the more active person, how about a hunt for the alarm clock.
drawback is that it might roll under the couch or something and u wont hear it anymore.
or the kicker
an earthquake. it probobly works well but is a killer on your floor and whoever else might be in bed with you. could be fun though, a bullride to get u up in the morn… not for the guy in the video though.
^I hear ya there. “it only takes 25 mins to get to work” takes a while to change due to the snow. I keep thinking I dont need to leave early, its not that bad out. But every idiot on the road feels the need to go 20mph less than the speed limit. ugh, i cant wait.
I HATE annoying commercials, especially on the radio. A good block of them usually ends with me slamming the alarm clock buttons (located across the room) to get the radio off. By then I say “fuck it” and stay out of bed.
I wish they made alarm clocks that would switch preset stations at a set time. Start out with some relaxing classical, then change over to something annoying like Kiss. If I could get that I guarantee I would be out of bed before the crap station turned on.
