Help getting up on time
I'm having a bit of a problem and was wondering if anyones got any tips that actually work and I can stick to.
Basically I have to be at work for 7:30 AM every weekday, and I wake up at 6:50 AM, which gives me plenty of time to drive to work.
The only problem is when my alarm goes off, I either subconcsiouslly fall asleep again, or cant even force myself to get up until the very last minute (in which case I am marginally late for work, which is not good)
Does anyone know any tricks, tips or whatever that will actaully make me want to get up, and that I can stick to? I dont know what caused it, but I used to get up for work the minute my alarm went off a couple years back, and even have time for breakfast and a read.
Recently I'm so slow at it.
Little help

Now why on earth didn't I think of that, I shall try it and REPORT BACK THE RESULTS IN A 20 PAGE ESSAY.
Kidding, but thanks!

I'm not sure if this is brilliant or what...
NO. That's an awful way to get up. The alarm clock idea works wonders.
Did Fawful just post an honest, not crude, on topic, useful, and commendable post? Am I dead?
Simpsons did it
I do it all the time, yet people are always surprised.
Try to always use the same alarm. Body will begin to adapt to it. Make sure its pretty loud too.
I generally have mine right next to my head. (But also sometimes I have it on charge across the room)
Have a drink of water before bed. (I always need the bathroom when I wake up!)
Try not to go to bed too late.
Have an annoying little brother programmed to wake you up in the morning, (okay maybe that ones just for me...)
Alarm on the other side of the room's another one I use, tried and tested by you all.
Can't abide mornings though, unless I get time for a shower instead of having one the night before. Then I glide through the rest of the day, giving colleagues at work the fingerguns and such
Good lord :eek:
LOL yeah that is where I got it from.
This would probably get you up way before the alarms go off.
I do this, but in reverse. My travel alarm clock is right next to my bed, and my phone is on the bookshelf across the room, set fifteen minutes after my regular alarm.
Works wonders.
Not recommended if you have breakable objects, roommates across the room, etc.
Surely Telltale could come up with some product idea to solve this problem once and for all. Maybe a Max clock that insults you until you smack it.
I just don't use it as my phone gets me up just fine.
Unless it doesn't go off for some strange reason, which is the reason my mum got me the alarm clock. :P
So try getting a really annoying and loud alarm clock.
But I can't come up with any other tricks than what's already been mentioned.
But the across the room trick works wonders.
By the way, I have the less fancy version of this clock, but I haven't used it in a couple years.
It works. Most of the time.
He's talking about erections everyone, jsyk. I can decipher his fanciful riddles and rhetoric after I near broke my ankle in the middle of the road and had a near death experience
I came in to say the same thing. It works pretty well, although I tend to go through 4 or 5 snooze cycles before I actually stay out of bed.
