How do you manage to wake up in the morning?

[kranky]

I won't say "just get up" but I will say "just get enough sleep". I am absolutely not a morning person either, but if I get enough sleep I can get myself out of bed.

It's just a matter of getting the sleep that your body needs.

Your brain doesn't give two shits about your schedule, if it thinks your body still needs more sleep, you'll have a hard time resisting it.

All through high school I would go to sleep at 3 AM and my 240 watt stereo couldn't wake me up at 7. I either had to force myself, and usually fall down a few times in the process of morning routine, or just stay in bed and have a meeting with the principle about my crappy attendance. Regardless, I did a lot of snoozing/napping after school.

I always wake up to a slow BJ, it's the best method I've found but you'll need some help for that to work. I also have a 10 month old daughter, and that seems to work if you really want to get up early every day.

Please don't mentions BJs and your 10 month old daughter at the same time.

6:30 AM Alarm Rings + 10min Snooze + 10min Snooze + 10min Snooze = 7:00 AM Wake up.

3 Snoozes are manditory!

Leave your blinds open and get a south-facing window. Put your bed so that your face is in the sun as it rises. Go to bed at 10:00PM. You'll get up feeling great at 6:00AM every morning, without needing the alarm at all.

smack the snooze button for about 40 minutes...

Maybe if I got more of the first we wouldn't have had the second.

Pick a job where you dont have to get up early! Thats my solution.

I don't even set the alarm. I wake up at 5:00AM every morning.

I have the same problem. It's like my body refuses to wake up before 10. If I go to bed early (12) I still really struggle to wake up before 10. Normal bed time is around 2. I tried going to bed at 10 for a while and still I could barely get myself out of bed. I just don't get it.

 

[dquan97]

Been going to bed at midnight and waking up at 6. Being to boot camp trained me to live with not much sleep.

 

[ugopk]

I always have trouble waking up in the morning for school / work, but i don't have any problem waking up to go have fun .

Everytime i have to wake up early other than school / work , i would wake up before the alarm

 

[forumJunkie]

I live in an apartment, so I set a task on my computer to blast an MP3 at 6. I don't want my neighbors breaking my face so I run over to them speakers as quickly as I can.

I just set my stereo on a timer and kept the remote out of reach. I would have to get up to turn it off.

1. Have four alarms. Set 1 or 2 away from night table and each other
2. Leave blinds/curtains open (may not work for up north)
3. Go to sleep earlier: 6am - 8hrs = 10pm. Do the math yourself for other situations.
4. Timer to turn on lights.
5. Keep repeating "Willpower test, let's get up"
6. Train dog to eat at 6 or 7, he'll lick you up quickly!

It's a lot tougher if you're up at 5am and need to be up at 6 or 7.

Once I had to finish a project, and next day fly to DC. Went to sleep at 3:50, up at 4:10, slept on the plane 2-3 hrs. Able to function, but not recommended.

get to bed earlier


and i set my alarm's clock an hour ahead of actual time.

so if i do stay in bed, it's usually 30 min and it's not deep sleep
