matt1215 0 #1 August 14, 2006 Probably one of my worst habits is riding the snooze button. I set my alarm for 5:40 and actually get out of bed around 6:20 or 6:30. Mornings suck. Do you do the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I see it, I have a clock on my night stand that just so happens to be an alarm clock. So what is this snooze button of which you speak?50 donations so far. Give it a try.

tbrown 26 #6 August 14, 2006 Not per se, since I have the radio turn on intsead of being basted out of my sleep by a blaring alarm. But the radio kicks on at 5am and I lie there listening to the news (NPR I'm proud to say) until the local anouncer says the time is 5:19, which he does without fail every day. That's when I sit up and put my feet on the floor. It might take another five minutes to get up on my feet, but once I'm sitting up the battle is won (or lost, depending on point of view).

I couldn't do that, my phone doesn't wake me up. I had the maintenance guy put a louder smoke detector in after I set it off and decided it wouldn't wake me. I rely 2 alarm clocks and a hungry cat to wake me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #10 August 14, 2006 I've never hit the snooze button. Growing up, I had to get out of bed for swim practice at 5 am. After college, I had kids ready to wake me up at all hours of the night. Now, I get right up, see my kids off to school and then get on the treadmill. Hmmm...I've gone full circle! I'm a horrible sleeper, the alarm rarely wakes me up anyway.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #12 August 14, 2006 I think animals are worse than kids in the morning. At least as the kids get older they sleep in more and then you have problems even getting them out of bed. The animals don't even let you have a few extra minutes on the weekends!

jumpchikk 0 #13 August 14, 2006 Animals are bad. My cats wrestle on the bed every morning at 5:30 a.m. Some mornings I get up before the alarm goes off, some mornings I just freakin don't care and turn the damn thing completely off. But, normally when I get up, I'm in a relatively decent mood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OMG, what a great idea. But if I did that with my dogs, I'd still be getting up early to let them out. I really don't mind getting up early and getting my run/walk in while the sun is coming up. It's so quiet and no one else is out and about at that hour except me and the dogs.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

Shotgun 1 #18 August 14, 2006 I rarely use an alarm clock, except when I need to get up ridiculously early for whatever reason... But then, yeah - I set it for about an hour before I need to get up and then hit the snooze over and over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #20 August 14, 2006 I used to ride the snooze button... Not anymore... Damn cat is now my alarm clock at 5:30 am when he wants the fuck out. He'll jump on the bed and bound across.
