Do you wake up to an alarm clock? A phone call? Someone in your home telling you to get out of bed? Kids? Pets? Since I work at home, I have the luxury of waking up whenever I feel like it. I don't think I have set my alarm since I quit my outside the home job, and I sure don't miss it! I usually wake up to my puppy barking because he wants to go outside, but I will occasionally just wake up on my own...

I usually wake up to the alarm or my Fiance waking me up. Sometimes the kitty climbs up for a snuggle in the early morning and wakes me up too.

I usually wake up on my own. It seems that my mind has its own alarm clock. I usually wake up at around 6am regardless of how tired I am or what time I sleep the night before.

I wake up between 4:30 and 5:30am every morning no matter what time zone I am in that morning. I do it without an alarm clock or any other outside means. I have done this since I was a teenager. Don't know why I do it just do it, internal alarm I guess. I go to bed usually sometime between 11:30 and 1:00 every night. So I sleep for anywhere between 5 to 6 hours. The only time I use an alarm is if I have an early flight and so an early pick up. If my driver is picking me up at 4:30 I have to be up be 3:45am. I use an alarm clock for this wake up.

I wake up with my alarm clock on my clock radio buzzes. Then I listen to the morning news on the BBC, then I call my husband who is working in Arizona, and after we'e talked for an hour or so, I get dressed and go to the coffee shop.

The alarm clock wakes me and my husband up however I wake up the kids. What amazes me is that although on the weekends we don't have to get up I fink that most of the time we all are up by eight. I have tried staing up late to try to sleep later in the morning but no matter what we do we still get up early. I wish someong could give me alittle help on that.

Hello Kecia c",) I admire people with "body alarm clock" because they no longer need those irritating sound of the alarm clock. Too bad for me almost everday i wake up with my alarm, because i have shifting schedules weekly so my body have to adjust weekly on my sleeping hours. If i have early shifts it is a must to set my alarm and sometimes my mom or dad woukd wake me up... and sometimes the sound of music wakes me up. My dad usually does that every weekend, so that's it. Glad to share some of my thoughts here.

Usually, I am used of waking up by myself ever since I was young. But this year, I am using an alarm clock to wake me up. It is because I have a hard time of waking up on my own. And also, every time I wake up, I usually go to bed again and sleep. That's why, I have 3 alarm clocks in my room. There are 2 alarm clocks and one cellphone that has an alarm clock in its features.

I usually use my cell phone and leave it on vibrate because that wakes me up quicker than a ringtone just because it scares me.

I usually set my alarm clock to a specific time in the morning. I am pretty reliant to it now because 6am here still looks like 5am. Quite deceiving, although before I have this so-called internal clock - I get to wake up at the time I wanted to.

That really depends on what shift my husband is working. If he is working days, I get up when he does, so that I can fix his breakfast and pack his lunch. Then sometimes I go back to sleep, until my 2 year old yells into his baby monitor that it's breakfast time. When my husband is working a later shift, I usually get up when my dogs let me know they need to go out. Then I get some stuff done before my toddler informs me that it's breakfast time. We do use an alarm when my husband works days, or when we have an appointment at 10 am or before, but that's it.

I wake up to my alarm clock at 5.50am weekday mornings. Yes I know it is early but I do like the peace and quiet before my husband gets home from work (night shift man) and the children getting up at 7.30am. I like to come and spend some time on the pc while i drink my drink , then I have to make the pack ups. At the weekends the children either wake me up with htere chatter or my husband when he brings us all a drink , me a lovely cup of tea to drink in bed.

I am easily woken up when it gets noisy, but then during school days when I've to get up early like around 5AM, I think I have an alarm inside my body, hahaha, and I wake up automatically. =D
