    Cookie "The Best Part of Waking Up..."

    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.

    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!

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

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

    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.

    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.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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