Fizzzzle Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I have a meeting in the morning at 9am. I haven't had to be up that early since pre-pandemic. I set 2 different alarms to start going off every 5 minutes starting at 7:30 and I'm still scared I'm going to sleep through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 One, but I usually wake up on my own a few minutes before. I've always been good at training to a wake p time after a week or so of the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is I usually never have to do anything before 3pm, so I usually sleep until 11 or so and don't have to have an alarm. Then the random occasions when I have to be up in the morning are super jarring and I get paranoid about sleeping in. Then the paranoia of sleeping in makes me not sleep very well, which makes me tired all day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though I should change that because I'm trying to get a 3070 and the stock drops seem to happen at about 8:30 pst most of the time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I only set one alarm. Well I set two but they are for the same time and I've had this clock radio since I was young so I just like having that clock radio go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Make your alarm really loud, and put it on the other side of your bedroom. That way you have to jump out of bed and shut it off quickly to avoid annoying the you live with. That always worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes things much easier. 6am rise and shine 🌤 This is pretty much me, I’ve found it works better and I enjoy weekends more if I wake up at the same time and just chill in bed or do something fun with the morning. Also have this thing if I sleep until like say 11am, that’s when my lunch normally is, so I feel like I wasted half of my day off. My internal clock is hit and miss though and it’s vital I am logged in every day at 7am so I actually set 4 alarms to make sure I don’t oversleep. Basically every 20 minutes from 5:40-6:40. Usually I naturally get up at 6ish but I’m trying to move it a little earlier and I don’t want to leave a chance for the times I don’t wake up naturally then.

Dodger Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 1 and I never hit snooze. Most of the time I get up before it goes off, though that's because my cat is somehow smart enough to know a few minutes before my alarm is going to go off and he's already trying to wake me up so I'll get up and feed him.

Ominous Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 My lights fade in slowly over 15 or so minutes, way better than an alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I work graveyard, so I never have to set an alarm, I go to bed when I get home and start my day with free time and go into work every night feeling full of energy and wide awake. I can't stand mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two different shifts, 10pm - 6am on Sun/Mon/Tue and 9pm-5am on Wed/Thur. So I go to bed basically as soon as I get home, very short commute, so I wake up between noon and 2:30 PM depending on how much I sleep in, and then I just hang out with my family all day until night time. Since I'm with them before work instead of after, I'm never "too tired" to do anything with them, and since I have free time in the afternoon, everything is still open. Frankly, it makes family time way better than I ever got from most other jobs. Especially since I hate mornings and like to stay up late. So I'd be tired when going to work, then be even more tired when I got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
