Waking Up

[yg17]

Am I the only one here that wakes up the 1st time and stays up?

I do have to get up and walk a few feet to shut off the alarm, but even in the dorms when I was able to have it within reaching distance of my bed I didnt have any problems :\

I use one alarm and I wake at 4:01 a.m. daily, snooze to 4:10 a.m. and then up and adam.

Left to my own devices I wake up 8 hours after I go to sleep. My wife's cell phone is the real alarm and I was going to brag that we woke up at 3am to get her off to work for 4am. But then I saw your post which sort of stole my thunder!

I have my alarm clock across the room. Weekdays I usually get up between 7:30-9...but on weekends, I will sleep to 2pm sometimes.

Nothing is better than sleeping for 15 hrs straight.

Wow, really? I absolutely HATE it when I wake up that late on weekends. It's like wow now I have 9 hours before I have to sleep again.

I'd rather sleep til' 7-8 AM everyday of the week. Of course, school doesn't allow for that, and when I get the chance, I stay up as late as possible.

I really need to sort out my sleep priorites.

I have this condition called DSPS (you don't have to follow the link, I'll describe it here ).

I can only fall asleep very late (around 3-4 AM at the earliest), no matter when I get in bed, and the only easy way to wake me up (in case I have school in the morning) would be to crash-drive a TGV train into my room. So... yeah

Oh, and btw, I fell asleep at 1PM on Saturday and woke up at 4AM Sunday, which was about 2 hrs. ago

I just use the alarm on my mobile. That always wakes me up. I'm not that heavy a sleeper.

Same, except if I'm really late and then my girlfriend pushes me out of the bed and onto the floor.

I use my Nintendo DS alarm clock to wake me up, it's sad that is this the only thing it does anymore. I'm saving for a Mac Mini so I can't buy any games right now.

I am such a bad waker upper. My alarm goes off at 6, I usually get up around 6:20. Then, I wander around half asleep 'till about noon. At that point, I'm awake.

I remember once in college my alarm was going off (I'm a heavy sleeper -- it takes a lot to wake me) and I threw something across my room (it was an honest attempt to turn off my alarm clock). It hit a glass lamp I had and shattered it. The shattering woke me, and my alarm was still going, and I was like, "huh"?

I use a combination of an alarm clock, the snooze button, and a bit of panic. Seems to work great, but I'm sometimes later to work than I'd like to be

That's also my tried and trusted technique.

English is my 1st period also. It's a challenge keeping my eyes open.

I have to be at school by 7:30. I wake up at 7:00. I don't get out of bed until 7:20, but I'm never late for school. I do everything in 10 minutes.

I do take a shower the night before though, after swim practice. The chlorine itches like hell.

I do not require sleep, so therefore I do not have the problem of waking up.

Actually, I set my alarm on my cell phone, then I turn it off and go back to sleep for another 20 minutes, then I get up take a shower, and then I'm awake....sometimes.
