Do you have trouble getting up in the morning?

I know I do, or did. A few days ago I set my alarm to start playing Piper and now I have no trouble. What a great morning song.

I can honestly say I have no trouble getting up in the morning. I’ve never, ever used my snooze button.

I hit the snooze button at least once. Its 9 minutes, so I set my alarm to go off 9 minutes before the time, that way i trick myself into thikning i am sleeping late. but i really odnt mind getting up, just i like the post-sleep warmness.

if i weren’t obsessed with the amount of sleep i get each night - and time itself - i’d probably do that.

I set my alarm for 5.30 every morning (Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day). I don’t drive to school until 7-ish, so I do have a hard time getting up. It’s a lot easier on Fridays than it is on Mondays though.

when i get myself into a rhythm, waking up is really easy. I tend not to do that at school, cause i dont have class until 11 or 1 every day, but when im home on break, i wake up at 630 every morning to go to work, no problem.

I generally don’t have a problem getting up in the morning. I get up at about 6:30 when I’m in school and 5:30 in the summer for work. I really don’t mind it though. Sure, you have a few days out of the year where it’s tough to get out of bed, but overall it’s not a big deal to me. My morning cup of coffee seems to be a pretty good incentive to get out of bed at 5:30, so I jump right out.

i needs to gets me a cd alarm clock so i can hear phish first thing every day…

i get it up every morning my gf is there. its a nice way to start off the day.

oh whoops, you meant waking up. yeah i can do that pretty easily too. however a cd alarm clock would ruin me unless i put something really awful in there so i was forced to wake up to turn it off. if it was phish id sit there and listen for too long.

I can get up ok. But then I am quite tired.

Icc your just an eccentric sleeper :slight_smile:

I have trouble sometimes, well most of the time if I try to get up before 8-8:30. This is mostly b/c I don’t get home from work till 11-11:30pm and need an hour or so before I can fall asleep. The later I stay up the harder it is to get up in the 8 oclock hour. I prefer getting up at 7 but that never happens without a monumental effort. Its just my schedule.

In my college dorm me and my roommate use to wake up evry morning to Possum and we would get up and start dancin’ around hysterically and piss everybody on the floor off. It was great. We would just flail are arms around and freakin flip out.

LOL

this made me laugh quite a bit. i can picture someone doing that and it would be funny.

My freshman year in the dorm, I believe we would wake up our hall with the smell of smoke rushing out of our room :slight_smile:

I have to work at 8 everyday so I’m up at 6 since it’s about a 45minute drive every day for work.

For one, I’ve got an old-school alarm clock where it actually has bells on the top of it with the hammer between them that bangs on them when it goes off…this thing is LOUD. Not only that, but I put it on the other side of the room so I actually have to physically get out of bed to turn it off. It’s WAY too easy to fall asleep again if it’s next to the bed. With those two tricks, I never sleep through the alarm.

One thing I’ve noticed that helps the morning though is when you smoke a big bowl the night before. The next morning you’re not high but on some occasions it’s still SLIGHTLY working where you feel a little loopy when you get up…but it’s GOOD kind of loopy. It puts me in a lot better mood when I get up so it’s not as difficult to force my way through the morning.

I sometimes have extreme difficulty getting up in the morning… I put it down to the sleep paralysis I sometimes get. After I experience SP, the likelihood is I will fall into a deep sleep for a good hour afterwards and wake up exhausted, usually resulting in me being late for work etc. It’s a good sleep though :smiley:

I’m one of those people who have such ridiculous self control with sleep that I will not only get up right away if I have an alarm set, but I often wake up BEFORE my alarm and lay there waiting until I “have to” get up. This guy I work with has to hit his snooze button at least 4 times before he will get up, he thinks I’m insane.
I have a story! Very recently (within the past two months) I had to get up to work on a Sunday morning. I had to get up at 8 because the store I work at opens at 9, and I was half an hour away at my best friend’s apartment. So I was in a terrible mood all Saturday, and Saturday night I hung out with my friend and his group of friends. They were total dicks and unsympathetic to me, and their apathy toward me and my mood conspired to make me drunk off my ass. I don’t remember a lot of that night including the long walk back to his apartment. I did not throw up, though. Anyway I finally crawled into my sleeping bag around 5 a.m. and instantly fell into a deep sleep. I made my friend promise me he would wake me up in time to get to work–he set an alarm for himself. So around 8 I snap awake in a haze, thinking the apartment is on fire or something. But it’s just my friend turning on a lamp and gently trying to wake me up. So I got up right away and drove to work–the full 30 minutes, and still fairly drunk. I worked from 9 to 2 (my shift) and went home, sleeping regularly that night.

I took a Tylenol pm at midnight last night and didn’t wake up till just now…I feel useless

i hate getting up early, hit the snooze button at least 3 times every day … it was easier when i was still in school … maybe i should go to bed earlier …

Kind of related to this, and to the “OCD” thread, I heard some thing about this bullshit on CNN yesterday.

This is an actual “disorder” that people, especially teens, have. They have finally “discovered” that people with this disorder have something wrong with the way their brain chemstry works, so that their sleep cycle isn’t aligned with the schedule of a school day. These sick people don’t get tired until midnight, and dont feel fully rested until they get a full 8 hours sleep. Well, the school bus comes before 8:00am a lot of places, so these people are obviously insane, right? They need to be given lots of wierd drugs to change their brain chemistry, and if that doesn’t work, they should be hospitalized.

DSPS is really a circadian rhythm disorder, where the body clock or Suprachaismatic Nucleus, located in the hypothalamus region of the brain, slows down and doesn
