Getting up in the morning

Set the alarm for 6.15. Hit the snooze button. 6.25. hit the snooze button. 6.35. hit the snooze button. 6.45 hit the snooze button.

Lost all the motivation to get out of bed. Just want to stay where it is nice and warm and cosy and where I can dose off and live in dreamland....

BUT how can I make myself get up? lol

It happens to me in winter, too... snooze button everytime, whilst telling myself "just another 5 minutes".

Leave your alarm clock across the other side of the room, so it forces you to get out of bed to switch it off. You get mightily pissed off at the thing, though.

I have to put my alarm clock under the bed right at the back so i have to crawl to get it lol. (thats only on sundays when i think i may never wake up again).

Set something like Kerrang! to turn on, on your radio every morning really loud and leave your remote out of reach so you have to get up to turn it off.

Do you actually need to be up at 6.15am? If so, getting an early night is probably a good idea. :wink:

I hide my alarm, in the mornings I can't remember ****, so I wake up wondering well the bloody hell it is, after all that excitement I can't help but be awake.

I had the same problem while using the alarm...snooze...snooze and more snooze...
so, i thought i'd start using the alarm in the mobile (its a little hard to change the alarm time in the phone, so i thought i wont bother readjusting it in the morning)....tried it the first time...wake up at 6am, glance at the mobile display (to switch it off) and it has a snooze option :eek:

for a precise nine minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!
now, its back to snooze....snooze and more snooze... :redface:

ive always had this problem too. do like everyone else says and put the alarm clock at the other side of the room or hide it, its the only thing that works. although i often just hit the off button, get back in bed and drift off again which leaves me screwed.

Forget snooze! When I don't get up, it's usually because I turned it OFF at 6.30, half asleep! Then someone turns my light on at 7.30 and says "When do you have to leave today?" I look at the clock and jump it shouting "In 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Set 2 alarms. Loudly.

As soon as your alarm goes off the first time, switch GMTV on. The sight of Fiona Phillips so early in the morning usually clears your eyes pretty quickly.

I have my clock radio set to wake me up with lovely classical music. It kind of eases me gently into the day. :smile:

I used to have one of those really horrible loud beeping alarms and it was an awful way to wake up in the morning, it used to really wake me up with a nasty shock every morning!

I'm the same though, I've tried everything...in the end I've resorted to staying in bed that extra 15 minutes in the mornings, missing breakfast and shower, so I get dressed slap on some wax and down a coffee, then peg it to the bus stop.

I sleep through everything, including alarms, so my family are the ones who have to wake me up. When I was little, my mom could vacuum in my room while I was napping without waking me up. don't know what I'm going to do when I go to university.

I have that same problem.No matter how many alarms...I can't get up.I even have super annoying alarms which go on for hours...I leave them on the opposite side of the room but I don't get up to turn it off,I just wrap a pillow around my ears and go back to sleep!Terrrible!

At uni I once slept through the whole fire alarm.Oops.

I've got into the habit of setting my alarm 10 minutes earlier than I need to be up, then allowing myself 10 extra minutes when the alarm goes off. I don't know why, but in winter, it makes me feel much better. I have quite a lot of self-control though, so I can make myself get up when I need to.

Go to bed early, and set your alarm early enough so even if you snooze you'll still be up in time
