When the alarm goes off... email this discussion to a friend?

do you immediately jump out of bed? Or are you the type of person who would turn off your alarm clock and just stay in bed for a while? Or, are you the type of person who would turn the alarm clock off and try to catch some more sleep and tell yourself, 5 minutes more...then 10 minutes more... or something like that?

There are times when I really just like being in bed even if I know that I have to go to work. I rarely jump out of bed once the alarm goes off. When I was younger, mom would always get angry because I do not get out of my room even if the alarm went off several minutes earlier.

I really hate it when the alarm goes off, especially when I get up much earlier than I should then struggle getting back to sleep and just as when I am drifting to sleep, it's time to wakeangry Often happens when I've got to be at work early and I am thinking it's the beginning of a long day! aaargh..
I have had one or two of those accidents when I turn the alarm off and think 5 minutes moresleep and woke an hour later to find I was extremely latew00t so I do not do that anymore and jump out of bed at the first opportunity!

Mornings are just not part of my life if I can help it. The problem is, I can't. I have to get up between 3:30 and 4:00 every morning to get to work on time. Then I have to get up or else, so... I have four alarms set, and each has at least one snooze cycle. One's totally across the room, so I have to get up for it. Another is in the bathroom, so I have to realize there's just no more sleep time. Then, unless I'm able to pick up a Saturday job,I often crash all day Saturday. I've gotten up that early ever since I can remember, and I always thought I'd get used to it some day, but I haven't gotten used to it at all. thumbdown I absolutely hate getting up!

I make both coffee and espresso in coffee makers with timers, so they're ready for me when I finally get downstairs. That helps a little, but only a little.

My husband's one of those nasty people who hits the floor running, before the alarm even rings! How dare he. As long as he doesn't wake me up, we're OK, and I won't interrupt his naps in the afternoons! whistle

That's a good strategy. I have done that in the past too. Like I placed another alarm clock on my computer table and this would require me to really get up to turn it off so I wouldn't have to go back to bed.


myLot reputation of 94/100. cobrateacher (4223)   ranked 483 out of 5,347 in sleeping  1 year ago

Unfortunately, I've gotten up and turned them off without getting all the way to awake, then I'm back in bed and I don't even remember waking up. I'm glad I've never missed getting to work on time because of it.

I always get right up as soon as the alarm goes off. Sometimes I wake up before it goes off. Alot of times I do not even have to use it because my mental alarm will wake me up for the time I need to be up.

I'm the type to bargain with a few minutes more when it comes to alarm clocks. When the alarm goes off, I press the snooze button to give me some more time to stretch a bit, acquaint myself especially my eyes and slumbering head from the good sleep.

I don't normally set my alarm clock. I wake up by myself on a regular time and I prefer it that way than being awakened by an alarm. I only set my alarm when I have to get up really early, yeah as in super early AM, or something something.

I will jump out of bed immediately when i have to go to work or some meetings. I don't want to be late for work. However in weekends/hoilday, i usually just turn off the alarm and lay down for 5-30 minutes, until i get enough sleep.
