How do you wake up (usually)

[cocheese 0]

Good morning.

Fighting a battle of insomnia.... to the degree that the lack of sleep is bleeding into the day.... milk gets returned to the oven.... kool aid returned to the freezer

Read an insurance policy and you'll be out in no time.

I did try to fall asleep by reading Freud's outline of psyco-analysis, it was to good... I learned soooo much about Jeffrey

I set my clock radio but I rarely need it because I wake up before it goes off. I'm a terrible sleeper.

I do have the ability to pop out of bed and be wide awake and raring to go. Nowdays, I'm on the treadmill within 15 min. of waking up. I guess it comes from some many years of getting up and swimming before school when I was a kid and then in later years waking up and having to tend to kids.

I sleep like the dead...like the dead as resurrected by an ancient voodoo curse and forced to lie awake while needles are inserted into their eyes. Sometimes.

Alarm Clock. At 4:45 AM. Every morning, five days a week, at least. Bleah.

Easy Does It

What about most all of the above?

Alarm clock weekdays, internal clock weekends, dog wants attention, cats want breakfast, surprise sex is always my favorite, and I usually have to pee

But when I'm sleeping, I sleep very well--so well the surprise sex didn't quite do the trick last time

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Ooo, Ooo, me too, me too! Ha!

I'm the dreaded morning person. After about two minutes, I'm up and running--literally. We run at 5 a.m. I can't remember the last time I slept past 7 a.m.--even when I went to bed at 3 a.m. Damn internal clock I don't think my internal clock knows I'm 25, not 65! As a child, I never missed 6 a.m. oatmeal with my Oma

I was up all night playing Hold 'Em poker... won one of those 45 player tourneys...

Anyway, normally I use a bed vibrator alarm. Great for deaf people.

Normally around 5.45 with the bairn using me as a somewhat reluctant 'bouncy castle'....

That would have been better with "multiple options permitted" enabled. If I have to be up at a certain time, I get up with an alarm clock......Immediately....I don't do "snooze" at all.

If I am not on a schedule (like right now), I just get up whenever.

Katie is always up very early for PT and that generally wakes me up. She also loves to hit snooze, which makes me nuts, but I can't cry about that too much when I don't really have anything of consequence to accomplish that day (It does not suck being retired).

Good morning to you,

Chuck

Well there was this one morning last week that I woke up to the stench of my dog having lost control of her bowles in the corner of my bedroom...



But usually I just use the standard "beep, beep" type alarm clock...

Open my eyes, get out of bed. Isn't there any one else that does it this way?

[windcatcher 0]

Most days I wake up and could use more sleep..especially now that I have to get up at 7:30/8:30 am for classes...but can't fall asleep till 1:30 because of stupid cracking noises coming from the ceiling in my dorm

Waking me is an incredibly hard task if you can't shake me. For some reason the only thing that can wake me is my alarm clock, stratigicly position right next to my head. Other than that, I am dead to the world. I have had people bang on the outside of my plywood wall for half an hour screaming their lungs out [and mind you there is a 2 or 3 foot gap at the top of my walls] with absolutely no avail. To the point where one day they almost took my door off to get in and shake me awake.
I grew up around constant shuttle launches so shaking is no issue, and when I hit a deep sleep [about 30 minutes in] I have been known to sleep through my own house alarm, and fire alarms with no problem.

Generally I wake up to something poking me in the back.
