How easy do you find it to get out of bed?

uv · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:39

Every morning, I wake up after auto-snoozing the alarm a few times, open my eyes a few milimeters, to find the missus up and about, showered, dressed and watching GMTV.

For the life of me, I just cannot get out of bed, and it takes me half an hour to eventually wake up properly :/

I eat a healthy diet, I bike and gym, I have ~7 hours sleep every night, but my body hates waking up

Anyone on here find it easy to just jump out from under the covers and get on with your day?

I find it hard, I wake up, lie in bed for about 30mins, get up, shower and im fine after that.

I normally wake up way before the alarm but even if the alarm wakes me up I'm normally up within about 20 seconds.

I have been known to press the snooze button for hours.

Depends on the day.

If I have to get up for work or similar I'm fine. However on a day/week like today where all I'm doing is looking for jobs which can be done in a matter of minutes I usually get up at about 11am :/.

My ex had a habit of setting her alarm and hour early and then pressing snooze 10 times. So annoying!

Pretty difficult untill the coffee kicks in.

I would be able to get out of bed if I were able to shower in the morning. I cannot shower in the morning as there are five of us after one bathroom

So yeah, I do find it hard!

Doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I get, always hard to get up, but I usually manage to get out of bed within 10 mins of alarm going off.

Very difficult, I stumble around banging into things and generally feel rubbish. Not sure why tho - if I go to bed at 2 and wake up at 10 I'm fine, but if I got to bed at 11 and wake up at 7 (usual) I feel awful, despite getting the same amount of kip.

Never found it a problem, usually takes about thirty seconds.

what's your secret?

I keep pressing snooze on all 5 alarms on my phone.

beermonster · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:44

when i'm on the early shift alarm goes off at 5am and i'm up and in the shower 30 seconds later if i don't get up I'll nod back off, on the late shift I can wake up and do what I please usually have another half hour snooze

The kids normally do a good job of getting me out of bed.

MookJong · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:45

It's the most difficult task I have to complete every day.

Mat · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:49

I put my alarm clock across the other side of the room. Its loud and annoying so I have to get up in order to turn it off.

Kerplunk · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:51

Every morning I wake up and think **** it 5 more mins cos I cant be arsed to get up, im tired, so im staying in bed! Then i just keep dozing off and keep thinking have to get up now! but i continue to defy myself.

Then im late for work, and think to myself why did I just get up straight away? :/

Same

Set alarm for 9am (Would like to get up then aswell but never happens)

Wake up at 9:30am IF IM LUCKY!

Ideally get in to work for 10am :rolleyes:

Le_Petit_Lapin · 23 Oct 2008 at 13:53

Dogs sorts that out for me when my alarm goes off. He knows that if he bounces all over the bed and shoves his cold nose in my face I'll get up.....and once I'm dressed he gets his walkies.

Normal wake up (i.e. not alarm clock) easy, I'm up, and am human immediately. Interrupted sleep, it'll take me an hour.
