"The Best Part of Waking Up..."

[Pike]

Do you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning? Are you a snooze-button abuser? Do you have two alarms? Or do you have your coffee and such all ready to go?

I used to be a major snooze-button abuser so I started forcing myself to buy clocks without one. I also have two alarms set-- one is on the opposite side of the room as my bed-- because my job makes me wake up at 3am every morning and I'm terrified I'd sleep through just one alarm.

[Sephex]

I am good about getting up right away most of the time. Usually the worst I get is I will sit up in bed rubbing my head, hoping that nothing bad will happen at work later. Once I step out of bed, I am good at getting up and moving. I can usually get fully ready in about 10 mins and I am out the door!

[Jinx]

I'm good at getting up. I use an alarm, but I don't need it; I have a very good internal alarm.

[Quindiana Jones]

If I have something to do, I'll get up immediately. If I don't, I would happily stay in bed until I do. :bigsmile:

Read this as the best part of wanking. Uhh.

I still wouldn't change my answer.

i have the drapes open so the sun's grossly incandescent light usually hits me in the face before the iPhone disaster alarm noise goes off. bash snooze a few times, out of bed at 8:15, make/consume breakfast, shower, shave, fly out the door.

[fire_of_avalon]

I used to get up right away when I was in my teens and early twenties but now I hit that snooze like there's no tomorrow then run around the house and get ready in fifteen minutes.

I gotta do better.

[Raistlin]

I am terrible at waking up, but I also take low-dose sleep meds due to my borderline insomnia. I only have my phone as an alarm, but I generally set two in order to make sure I get up. Even on mornings when I need to get up, it generally takes me 10-15 minutes.

I also have a history of turning off alarms in my sleep if I don't place them far enough away from my bed to require me getting up.

[Quindiana Jones]

There was a time in my teen years when I would set half a dozen alarms, knowing full well that only the last one would be able to wake me.

[Laddy]

YES. Normally, I'll set my alarm three times with the last being ten minutes before my first class and I'll get up on that one more than you think. :I

[Shlup]

I hate waking up. I hate it a whole lot.

[Shorty]

I am a definite snooze-abuser. Like you would not believe.

[Jiro]

I only need one alarm but it is one winged angel so it's not exactly pleasant.

[Shauna]

I hate waking up. :( But, we've been trying to get into a better sleeping pattern so I've been getting up at earlier and earlier hours recently, which just makes me sad and tired.

[Hollycat]

My alarm is the song SO MANY SMURFING WONDERS, so that gets me up immediately and out the door.

[Faris]

During the summer I'm pretty good at waking up without needing the snooze button, during the winter though, I'll sleep an extra 9 minutes (that's how long my snooze lasts for. I know it's a weird number but I don't know how to change it, argh!) Then again, maybe I haven't been needing the snooze since my second alarm is always so happy and cuddly when I wake up or cause chaos. :leeza:

[Madame Adequate]

Waking up is absolutely awful and it takes me forever to get out of bed.

[Pike]

I'll sleep an extra 9 minutes (that's how long my snooze lasts for. I know it's a weird number but I don't know how to change it, argh!)

Not a weird number. Most snooze buttons are nine minutes by default. Nobody knows why.

[Night Fury]

I'm a snooze abuser.
I usually switch my alarm off when it rings out, but then close my eyes for '5 more minutes' :mad:

It always ends up being about 30!

:greenie:

[Goldenboko]

The snooze button is both a blessing and a curse.

[Mercen-X]

The best part of waking up
Is knowing you'll be there
The splash of rays in from the sun
Glowing in your hair
Being lost in your embrace
As I stir toward the world
I turn around, see you're awake
Your eyes shining like pearls
and calling

Stay with me
Just ten more minutes
Lay with me

Hold onto me
And kiss me softly
Hold onto me
Hold onto me

[Psychotic]

I have a problem where I will wake up 30-60 minutes before I have to get up and, because of this knowledge, am incapable of going back to sleep. It's horrible. Effective, but horrible.

YES. I get this if I have an early start at work or uni

[Pumpkin]

I hate waking up, but I do stay awake when the alarm goes off. Then I just lay there being angry for about five minutes. Then I rush to get ready because when I set an alarm I set it so I get the absolute most amount of sleep possible.

[SeronStar]

I'm awful at waking up in the morning. I manage to force myself out of my comfy, warm bed, brush my teeth and get myself sorted for the day, but even after an hour of getting up I'm still like a moody, walking zombie.

[Jiro]

I woke up at half 4 on Monday morning. Didn't have to be up for another hour and a half at least. Couldn't go back to sleep. Ugh. Having to do something is a great way to make you wake up of a morning though.

[Pike]

I have had this issue before and am seconding its horribleness.

Sometimes I get it, I find that my body then suddenly wants to go to sleep minutes before my alarm. :mad:

This! Or I fall back asleep about 15 minutes before my alarm, and when my alarm goes off I can barely wake up. :( So mostly, when this happens now, I force myself up if I'm already wide awake.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I'm awesome at waking up. As soon as my alarm goes off I'm pretty much wide awake and ready to go.

Unless I have an early shift at work because fuck them for making we work so early all the time. :nonono:

[Zombie]

I can't consider 3 a.m. to be "morning", if you know what I mean.

[snacks]

"The best part of waking up is talking to skt in #eoff" *teeth gleam and my face on a cardboard box*

I don't know what exactly it is, but if I go to bed at 3am knowing I have to be up at 8:30 I feel way more rested than like suppose last night when I went to bed at 1 and got up at 8 feeling like I didn't sleep at all.

Also lots of sugary products help.

[Balzac]

Drinking a pint of coffee when I woke up is the best part. When its finished everything goes to crap again.

[snacks]

literally eh stu :wink: :wink: :wink:

[Clo]

The best part of waking up? Morning wood.

[Mercen-X]

SOMEBODY MENTION HOW GREAT MY SONG WAS. It may have been brief, but I made it up and I thought it was great. YOU DID TOO!

[Miss Lady Shelly]

It takes me about 30 min to get out of bed after my alarm fist goes off.

[Iceglow]

With me it's a little weird. My insomnia means I can black out from exhaustion and sleep through the heaviest alarm you can imagine. My body tends to need a routine. Once I'm in that routine it's easy as pie :) I tend to wake up like 15 mins prior to my alarm is set to go off and then lay there listening to the world for about 10 mins, 5 mins before I have to get out of bed and get ready I'm normally out and wandering around. A quick shower and I'm wide awake no need for coffee or anything like that, though I do enjoy drinking teas and coffees of a morning.

But the best part of waking up presently? I think it's knowing I no longer work for a company that did it's best to either fire me or make me miserable. I also think that the satisfaction that I get from having left there of my own accord increases that feeling of "fuck yeah let's go do this shit!" especially when I'm facing a long bus ride in to my new job.

Ignore me, I was thinking something else entirely more bizarre and inappropriate.
