Set my clock 10 minutes later than the actual time. So when I hit snooze my brain does simple math to calculate the actual time. If I'm awake enough to do math, I'm awake enough to get my lazy ass outta bed.
I automatically wake up at the same time every morning. I don't understand how that works. On the mornings that I need to get up earlier, I set an alarm, but I usually wake up before it goes off.
I dunno but if I tell myself i must wake up at a specific time, I usually do. Phone alarms does help too. (I try to make sure I have 6 hours sleep though so i don’t have a problem oversleeping)
Going to bed early I’ve learned is not a punishment. It is a treat because you wake up earlier feeling refreshed. I had to wake up at 530 for awhile. My bed time was 8. Waking up became a delight!
@DeluxedEdition alarms mean nothing to me either apparently. I haven't found anything that helps except for when I MUST be somewhere early, somehow I manage but I can't replicate that. It's infuriating.
No alarm clock, I wake up same time everyday at 4 am all my life. Parents woke me up at 4am everyday including weekends and was force to work in the family business
Then I moved away from the city and I bought a farm and I still get up at the same time everyday.
I woke my kids up for school and morning chores everyday at 4am everyday to.
I become annoyingly whiny just enough that I can’t stand to lie there listening to the inner cry baby anymore. Add seven plus alarms to the mix and you’ve got a level of near-screaming-obscenities aggravation that makes it impossible to go back to sleep.
