I almost miss the time to work this morning

Gosh, what have gotten into me this morning. My cellphone alarm clock rang, and I knew that I have to get up at 4:30 A.M. That is the time I push myself to get up. This morning, I gave myself an excuse, just let me sleep another 5 or 10 minutes, that will be great. It turns out that I overslept another half hour. When I look at my cell phone again, I said "Oh My God", I rush out of the bed, and brush my teeth, wash my face and dress up, ready for work. I don't even have time to surf the internet for a moment too. What a rush morning. Although it is not my first time, but I seems repeat all the mistake I committed before.

I also experienced the same thing. When I was still going to school I'm always late because when I wake up at the alarm I always told myself I'm gonna sleep for a while, it's still too early until it's already 30 minutes before the time I should leave.

You will encountered this scenario if you didn't have a good sleep or you go to bed late. Extension sleep really a bad idea.I experienced this scenario. Which I forgot to brush my teeth and rushed going to the office, or even have a proper grooming. hahaha

When I got up this morning I also crammed because I was also running late. Good thing the bus I got in was fast. I arrived 10 minutes early.

Well, sometimes i would also would like to sleep at least 15 more minutes , so when my cellphone alarm rings , i would reset it to another 15 minutes more so it would wake me up just as i would like it too. In cases that i am short of time already and i don't wanna be late to the office, i would skip my breakfast.

Don't feel bad, that happens to me all the time. I actually put two alarm clocks my cell phone and my alarm clock next to my bed. And I have literally snoozed both of the alarms and just gone back to sleep and in some of the occassions, I don't even realize I am doing it. Those are usually the days, that the night before I tend to stay up later than usual trying to finish my school work. Luckily I haven't gotten to work that late on those occassions, the latest I have gotten there is 10 to 15 minutes, but I hate when I do that, but at the same time it kind of feels good sleeping those extra minutes.

Wow,how hard you worked,you get up at 4:30,it is hard to image.I always cannot get up in the morning,sometimes I even just ignore my clock alarm and then oversleep.It is ok to oversleep for ocassionally and I think your boss can understand you,so don't worry.
