Morning alarm bell.....Do you sincerely get up immediately?

Thankfully I don't have to use an alarm clock. My internal clock wakes me up around the same time every day even on weekends. That time is around 5:30am so it gives me plenty of time to get ready for work.

I am very much the same way during the week, mainly because I stay up way too late.

I use my cell phone as my alarm, and it has 5 settings. I set each one for a different time in the hopes that by the time the last one rings, I'm so sick of being woken up to shut it off that I just get up!

One suggestion I have, which doesn't honestly work for me but it has worked for others is to not have your alarm clock close to your bed. Put it across the room so you are forced to get out of bed every time it rings.

Now days I get up using my internal alarm clock. I seem to wake up at 5am no matter what time I went to bed the night before. When I did use an alarm clock, I often had the same trouble as you are describing. So I put my alarm clock all the way on the other side of the room. That way I have to get up, walk across the room, and turn it off. When I get up, the hardest part is over. I never did have a problem after that.

Oh yes i get up immediately after the alarm bell rings. My schedue in the mornign is very tight. In fact i have 4 alarm bells in teh morning. firt to get up, second for me to finish my breathing exercises, the third one for finishing my yoga exercises the fourth one for tea and the fifth one to remember to take the keys while going to office. If one gets delayed time for the rest is reduced.

I sincerely get up ... sometimes. I have my alarm far away from my bed so it isn't in hand's reach also, so I have to get off and turn it off. Then, I end up being up anyways, no point in hitting snooze. I would be in big trouble not waking up on time because I will probably not get on a bus that will get near school on time. I hope you solve your problem soon!

There is only one way I know of to get up fresh and alert on time in the morning and that is to get to bed early enough to get a full night's sleep. That is often hard to do, but then I always awaken just before the alarm and lie there planning my day for a few seconds until it goes off and then I get up. If it was not possible to go to bed on time, then if the alarm wakes me up, I am disoriented and just want to fall back asleep. Then, as you say, the whole day is usually a rush, because onces things spin out of control, it is very hard to get back on track.

With enough sleep, I pop up all alert in the morning and the day goes well.

My watch alarm doesn't wake me up, unfortunately, because it's too short. I used to have a rooster alarm but I had to get rid of it because it was way too agressive*Serious*. It used to get louder unless you stood up to turn it off, and if you didn't it got*really* loud and it didn't wake up only me, but my parents as well, and it wouldn't surprise me if it reached the neighbours. xD

My mum wakes me up right now, but I have to admit I don't get up immediately. She has to poke me a few times (literally) until I'm conscious that I actually have to stand up and get ready for school.

If you have problems with your alarm clock, I would be more than happy to give you my rooster one if your neighbours don't mind. xD Or get a similar one. I*guarantee* that it will work like a charm.

I use my mobile phone as an alarm clock because it has a really loud alarm. During the beginning of the school year, I would wake up no problem, however, now that it's been a few months, I've gone back to my old, lazy ways of sleeping an extra ten-fifteen minutes. (I set my alarm clock an extra fifteen minutes early now though so I can snooze in that time no problem. xD) Some days my mom will come to my doorway and remind me that I have to get ready for school, then I get up almost immediately.

I don't have any suggestions on how to get up on time really.=S I think it's more about if you want to. I don't mind waking up early because my mom's friend drives me if I get up and get ready by a certain time; it saves my mom a car trip and it's better for the environment, no?;)

My alarm is my mobile phone.
If it's ringing, I will directly press snoooze! hehehe...
But usually it keeps me awake after the first one ringing, so when it rings again, I immediately wake up.
If I'm too tired, usually I wont wake until someone calls me.

My husband has to do this: ..........Put your alarm clock on the other side of the room. Set it to a radio station if your clock will allow that. Turn the volume up. When it goes off, you will HAVE to get out of bed to turn it off. Once you are up, it's harder to go back to bed.
