Not hitting the snooze button?

[mizzou]

My wife does this. She can hit the snooze 5 times and then wake up and barely be at work on time...but usually late

I tricked her once by setting all clocks in our house back 5 minutes without telling her. She got to work on time and was like, "OMG I think the clocks are off"

Then she started adding 15 minutes of fake time to the clock, so I added 15 more minutes and the same thing happened. So on until I got to 45 minutes of fake time, then we lived with fake time for quite a long time until I decided to reset the clocks to real time.

Hitting the snooze 3 times on target time plus fake time was getting very confusing.


Bottom line, if you have trouble getting up, there probably isn't any trick to get you to do it. You have to just do it. If you aren't a morning person, I feel for you. I generally don't have that problem.

My wife is like this too. It's a good thing I'm a deep sleeper and can sleep through her alarms or I would be annoyed and pissed every morning.

I just can't wake up on time. It doesn't matter when I set the alarm... if it's the last possibly time I could possibly wake up, or 10 minutes before, or 20 minutes, or 2 hours... doesn't freaking matter, the snooze button wins. I've been consistently 45-60 minutes late for work, for years.

And no, switching to an alarm that does not support snooze just makes me shut it off entirely. I actually set three alarms most nights, and by the time I actually wake up, I've shut two of them off and am slamming my fist down on the snooze button on the last one, for who knows what iteration count that morning.

i have to hit the snooze as well, which is why i set my alarm like 30 minutes before i have to actually get up.

wtf, how have you not been fired?

I have a hard time understanding why people can't just get up on time. I've been late to work maybe a few times (and just by a few minutes) over my entire lifetime. That's thousands of days of work and maybe a few times barely late. How the hell can someone else not be on time even 50% of the time?

My goal is to always be at work with time to spare. If I have a shit ton of traffic to fight, I'll give myself 15-25 minutes extra to deal with possible traffic jams from accidents. If I live close to work, I'll give myself an extra 5-15 minutes to just get settled in, and also in case I forget something or can't find my keys.

I love it when someone gets ready to go early, then they spend 15-20 minutes looking for the keys lol Some people just can't win!

pics of what? my alarm clock? standard galaxy s4, verizon issued. grey with a hint of finger prints on the screen.

Yes, you are talking about your hot wife, so I want to see a picture of your alarm clock, a standard galaxy s4. grey with finger prints.

 

[cbrunny]

just get up.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Have kids. That's an alarm you can't ignore or dismiss.

I can vouch for this. The baby hates it when I hit the snooze button.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

I use my phone for my alarm and put it somewhere that I can't reach it from my bed. That way I'm forced to get up to turn it off and not just quickly roll over and back. Has worked so far.

 

[Tweak155]

Go to bed earlier? I haven't had to set an alarm clock in over a year, maybe 2.

she is kind of hairy.

 

[Ruptga]

I set my PC to play this at high volume, but even so I just can't be bothered to get up if I know I have more than half an hour before I need to be somewhere (or be leaving). I fucking hate mornings.

 

[BurnItDwn]

hehehe, well, you are the squirrels, so I imagine you both have big bushy tails, didn't realize it was big bushy mustaches too

 

[TwiceOver]

Just get up and deal with it.

11-4:30am is my usual. Sometime's 10-4:30 if I'm lucky.

If you don't *need* to get up then you won't. Come up with some reason to get up, then drag your sleepy ass out of bed and do it.

I don't know what you use for an alarm program, but find something less jarring to your sleep. I use Timely for Android and that allows it to slowly increase in volume for a gentler wake up. You could also try one of those that turns the screen on on your phone to see if that helps you wake up softer.

I haven't been fired because I work a ton of hours and my productivity / work product exceeds that of the remainder of my department cumulatively. They'd be stupid to fire me.

I'm not a morning person, in the absolute most extreme sense. I would literally rather die than have to wake up in the morning; my job is wholly irrelevant at that point. If I had a night job, I'm sure that I would be on-time, every time.

 

[blackdogdeek]

I thought of a much better idea: give us all your home and cell phone numbers and the time at which you need to wake up.

 

[Gooberlx2]

I just like cuddling with my wife

Set your alarm(s) in such a way that it irritates your wife and she kicks you out of bed.

One thing I need to experiment with some day is an alarm clock that lights up the room. Would not be too hard to make, thinking 10kw of flood lights (or equivalent LED) and PWM control. Basically the idea would be to try to make my body get out of deep sleep and think that it's day light. Then when the alarm kicks on it would not hit as hard. Could even have it so it kicks on more silently and slowly gets louder.

I find what makes me more tired in the morning is the fact that it's so dark out. In the summer months getting up early is not as hard since it's light out by like 5am. In fact going to bed on days off is a bit weird because the sun is already starting to come up.

you could just buy for like $5 or so those timers the old people use to set their lights to turn on and off at certain times of the day. My grandfather had timers for lights that he loved. He hated that I always messed with them. Ahhh I miss the old man....

My take on the snooze button.

If someone said to you, "Hey, what I would like to do every day is wake you up a half-hour before you needed to get up, and then annoy you again every ten minutes during that half-hour instead of letting you sleep soundly for that last half-hour" why would you say "Great! Kill the last half-hour of my sleep!"

Then people actually do that to themselves voluntarily. It makes no sense to me.

I would love to sleep more but I never touch the snooze button. The alarm goes off when I have to get up, therefore I get up. And I get complete uninterrupted sleep until that moment. How can that not be better?

You're one of them kids. I don't have timers... yet....My kid will surely mess with me, with glee. I've had the 1st 13 years (so far) but I think he'll have the last say. He's, at least, properly trained for the job.

Maybe not bright enough for you and kind of ridiculously expensive. Lot of other models that do this also.

You, sir, are a morning person.

 

[The J]

I have this wake-up light: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003X...=SY115&simLd=1. I'm not a snoozer, but it does actually help me wake up during these dark winter mornings. Plus, it doubles as a bedside lamp.

It was about $80 when I bought it.
