Getting up on a morning

[TomR6]

Have been struggling to get up for work recently. Work has flexi time which doesn't make it any easier as I can go in any time I want before 10.

Lately have just been hitting snooze and going in any random time before half 9. This morning managed to just sleep through untill 10, so was late in which doesn't look good.

It's not as if I'm dreading going to work, I quite enjoy it.

Any tips to get my lazy ass up?

Reproduce,

I've been up since 3.30

When you press snooze, turn your bedside light on (or open curtains for better results)... next time you wake up (with the next alarm) you should feel slightly more awake.

Or go to bed earlier

Or if your alarm is loud enough place it on the other side of your bedroom, so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off/snooze, then force food down you or get in the shower. Don't return to bed!

Go to bed with the curtains open so you wake up in daylight.

Best tip I know is
GET THE FUCK UP WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
works for me.

So not just me then. Never had a problem when I wasn't on flexi

I sleep with the curtains open anyway, it had a slight effect when mornings got brighter, has worn off though.

Have ordered a new alarm clock which I'm hoping will melt ears. Will have that across the room and will set my phone to go off at a similar time.

Doesn't help that I don't feel tired untill half 11 or whenever.

change the alarm tone every night, confuses me when i do it and wakes me up.

The best method I've found is to put the alarm clock somewhere else in the room: it means you've got to get out of bed to turn it off, which kinda forces you to at least start to wake up...

omg i had one of them...

it broke after a week, seriously im so grumpy in the morning i just tossed the base over the room and broke it then went back to sleep..



edit: if you dont know the top part flies off and lands somewhere and the alarm will only turn off when you put it back on the base.

Have a radio alarm tunes into Chris Moyles. That cretin would make anyone get up and turn the radio off.

I never close my curtains so that one won't work for me...

I have 4 alarm clocks, spaced 2 minutes apart... doesn't work...

The only thing that seems to work "sometimes" is leaving my bedroom door open... the cool morning air seems to chill me awake lol

Put your alarm on the other side of the room.

You have to get out of bed to switch it off so you are less likely to go back to sleep.

3 words dude.. Fvck. Yes.

Drink as much fluid as you can before going to bed, then in the morning your bladder wakes you up.

My bladder wakes me up at 6.30am every morning. Trouble is when I only get up at 7.30am it becomes a bit damp.

I had the same problem when i was sleeping for 8-9 hours a night, i switched to around 7 hours sleep and wake up much better in the mornings..

That being said i cant remember the last time i clocked in at work on the dot lol.

Well I've bought one of those sonic boom alarm clocks, hopefully will stop the sleeping through problem. Will also set my phone alarm for the same time and leave it across the room blasting prodigy or something loud.

If that fails I'll get a helicopter alarm thingy .
