How do you wake up in the morning?

Just put your alarm far away, so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off. Once your out of bed, then force yourself to the shower. I have an a set of speakers which I connect to my iPod so I wake up to rock music instead of an irritating beep. I find it works well for me.
 
i get up at 6.00am every morning with no alarm even at weekends, lol, i hate lying in bed, and thats with just being a house husband so no REAL job to get up for, once i'm awake thats it i have to get up, meanwhile my wife can just stay in bed till 10.00, 11.00 in the morning. Just cannot do that.
 
I'm awake at 06:30 no matter when I'm due to arise. Once I'm awake, that's it. I can't lie in bed, I just get bored... even if I put the TV on.
My girlfriend really struggles getting up; she can stay in bed until 12noon if she could. Alas she is a Chef so has to get up ridiculously early.
 
As I am at work at 6am most mornings I use 2 alarms and one cat.

The main alarm is 20 minutes fast and set for 5am (4:40am) and my phone is set for 5am too at the correct time. I snooze the main alarm twice until my phone goes off. At this point a cat will meaow in our ears until we get out of bed and feed them.

If that doesnt work. The other cat, Garfield (fat) will sit on your bladder until you get out of bed in agony.
 
Day 1, 8:14am, 26th September

I did as someone said earlier in the thread and set my alarm for 6am, an hour earlier than I would like to get up. I set three alarms, 6:01 - 6:03 - 6:06. I snoozed them all until around 8am. Then I got out of bed, turned my heater on max and have been sat at my computer for around 15minutes and i've only just got the energy to get dressed. I have 9minutes to get ready and out the door. :o
 
Considering it will only be a month or two until we're waking up in the dark (depending what time you get up), has anyone used one of those clocks that wake you up with a light gradually getting brighter? Does it get really bright (daylight bright) at the end or is it just like a lamp?
 
I can get out of bed when I need to, if it's because of something I don't really want to do then it can be abit harder :p
 
Up at 6:30 on the dot (without an alarm), nookie, shower, dressed, chill and eat breakfast then walk to the bus stop and go to work.

Get a wife.

Only things guaranteed to get me up quickly are either:

a) wife yanking covers off bed on her return from the shower

or

b) doorbell going when I'm waiting for the delivery of a gadget..I'm up like a bloody shot then! ;)

Last couple of weeks we've been getting woken at 5.30 by next doors' alarm going off. They then snooze it for 10 mins at a time for a whole ******* hour. *****. It's getting to the point that I'm going to have to scream "GET THE **** UP YOU LAZY *****!" through the wall. :mad:
 
I tend to have 2 alarms - a little one by my bed which goes off at 8:45 to get me vaguely aware of the real world, then an mp3 one set on my laptop on the other side of the room at 8:50. Laptop > big speakers, playing Freestylers - Check the Skillz, which has an intro about long enough for me to jump out of bed and run over to it before the bass kicks in :D

Fairly reliable, though if I sort my sleeping pattern out I generally wake up on my own just before either. Still recovering from the summer break just now, so playing it safe :)
 
**** off loud alarm clock at the other end of the room helps me:p. might give me a heart attact one day but at least it gets me out of bed to switch the damn thing off:cool:
 
dno if this has been posted already, havent read through the 90odd posts, but set your clock 8/12/13 minutes early or something so in the morning it will be difficult to realise what time it actually is, so you might get up earlier! this is what i do. seems to work... kinda

big mistake, you should open the window, being cold is a much better incentive to get dressed. try to go to bed at the same time everyday and get up at the same time, even weekends you'll soon get into a pattern then. you could try taking somthing like nytol for a while.
 
You people should seek medical advice ........ really; there is something wrong with you if you can't get out of bed when the alarm goes off.

It could be your diet or the time that you go to bed or quite a number of things but you really should try to sort it.


Alternatively, get a night job :p;)
