Getting up in the Morning

[Niamh.]

Do you find it easy and jump out of bed when your alarm goes off or do you keep snoozing it till the very end?

No matter how much sleep I've had I find it so hard to get up every morning, bed is so cosy and warm and lovely :laugh:

[Strictly Jake]

I set my alarm for 5.35am and jump out of bed rush round getting ready and get into my lift to work at 5.40am. haha

Oh proper living on the edge :laugh: I love it. That's a very early start though

[joeysteele]

Don't need an alarm.
Years of having a Staffie have trained me to wake around 6am to 6.30am automatically.

Once awake, I cannot get back to sleep anyhow.

[Vicky.]

I snoozed my alarm til 8.10am a couple of days back. Then spent 20 minutes headless chickening and feeling ready to have a heart attack as we have to leave house by 8.30am and there was clothes to sort, kids to feed and clean, endless crap to be found, packed lunches to do...

I know how stressful it makes it as have done it before many times. Yet still always snooze :bored:

It's so annoying how no matter which way you turn in the morning every position is the most cosy, comfortable place in the whole world (and when you get into bed you could be tossing and turning forever to get comfortable) Luckily for me, I only have to worry about getting myself ready these days though

[Crimson Dynamo]

i have never had a problem getting up tbh

Stop boasting LT :nono:

[smudgie]

Always could get up when I had to.
Nowadays I don’t normally get out of bed until between 10 and 11.30, depending on what kind of night I have had and if the grand dog is happy to stay in bed.
Daughter drops him off about 7 am and he goes straight in his basket at the side of my bed.

Yes. Basically roleplaying some torture chamber situation where you cant get comfy then get cramp finding a position when trying to get to sleep, tossing and turn for ages on your spiky rock. Then as soon as the alarm shouts, its like you are lying on a mattress made of the very finest clouds god has to offer :rolleyes:

i mean out of bed :oh:

[rusticgal]

Always set my alarm early and then I like to lie in for 10mins thinking of the day ahead...
When I had to get up at 3am for an early shift I would have to get straight out of bed because I would be so tired that the thought of a pultry 10 min snooze would piss me off..:laugh:.

[Vicky.]

i mean out of bed :oh:

Same difference

[Redway]

I swing more to the second option but I work nights so it’s a bit different for me. I think on off-days I tend to wake up fairly early naturally but I still set 20 alarms just in case (when there’s something important I need to do that morning). And I snooze through a lot of them.

[Beso]

9 times out of ten I just roll of the couch.

[smudgie]

Living the dream :flutter:

Hmmmm, then I normally go back about 4 ish for a couple of hours.
Normal bedtime on a night is between 1 and 2 am.
Lots of tossing and turning through the night, as Vicky said, ruddy cramps and uncomfortable bed, until it’s time to get up of course.:laugh:

[Kazanne]

I'm so not a morning person,especially in the colder months,I am very much a night owl, just find it so hard to get up in the mornings.

[Gusto Brunt]

I'm an early riser.

I got to bed at 10pm. I often wake between 1am and 4am.

If it's 1am I struggle to get to sleep, although I might manage a couple of hours.

If it's 4am I just stay awake. Not worth lying there. :p

[Cherie]

I can't jump out straight off, I need at least 10 minutes to get going

[Babayaro.]

I used to be good at getting up, but im ngl my other half has made me bad it :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Get up straight in the shower and then immediately have breakfast 7 days per week

then you are ready for the day and what you have to do.

No lounging about in pajamas in your own fetid stench

:nono:

People are different. I really hope you realise that one day.

Man here thinks LeatherTrumpet should be banned from commenting in threads like this.

No one’s interested in his mega-capitalistic, every day-grind-and-hustle at stupid o’clock narrative.

[Jordan.]

I'm a snoozer so set my alarms earlier than I need to to account for it :laugh:

[michael21]

I don't have a alarm I get up when I like and go to bed when I like

[Dogeatdog]

I snooze my alarm a lot and I don’t think my job helps this because I’m allowed to start whichever time I want with the main repercussion being that the later I start my job, the longer the day at work ends up being (an 8 hour day ends up turning into a 10 hour day).

There’s been times before where I set my alarm for 5am to beat traffic but don’t get out of bed until 6 cos I’m too cosy in bed :laugh:

[Toy Soldier]

Tbh these days if it’s about 7.30am onwards I can get up no problem. But school days when the alarm is set for 6.30… D: miserable. That hour apparently makes all the difference. And going to bed an hour earlier makes no difference.

[thesheriff443]

I have struggled with getting any decent sleep for years
I’d do use the snooze button but I’m always up and sort my daughters medication out sort the Rabbit out a cup of tea and out the door
It’s funny that the time between alarm going off hitting the snooze button then the alarm goes off seems to go by extra fast

[Toy Soldier]

The worst thing is when you wake up and it’s still dark, and you hope there’ll still be a few hours of sleep left, then you look at the clock and your alarm is only 5 minutes away. :bawling:

[Vicky.]

My kids seem to have adapted to only having half an hour to get ready on a morning because mam is a lazy sod who snoozes her alarm for nearly an hour. Everything went smoothly this morning. I was shocked. Clearly this now means I can regularly get up at 8 instead of trying to get up earlier.

Can't change alarm though. Else we wont get up til after school starts as I will still snooze it :bored:

I've woken 5 minutes before my alarm for months and months. Probably since covid, now that I think about it.

But yeah, theres nothing worse than the winter months for dark gloominess. I am a different person in the summer months tbh, regarding the ease of getting out of bed.:shrug:
