Getting up in the morning.

[Jaged]

I have a serious issue with getting up in the morning for school. Its damned near impossible some mornings and my attendance is getting pretty shitty. I am looking for some creative ways to get my lazy ass out of the sack at 6:30 am reliably cause what I'm doing now (alarm clock and bitching dad) is not working.

I'm right there with you - I am not and never have been a morning person. I hate getting up and it takes me about 2hrs So I just set my alarm waaaay before I actualy have to get up.

Think about cool things to look forward to if you wake up.And if your dad isn't very strict,play planetside when your ready for school while waiting for ride/bus unless you walk.And all you have to do is have an alarm clock remind you to wake up at 4:00 so you'll have enouph time to play planetside.

I'm a heavy sleeper, and a night person, used to have the same problem.


Simple Solutions

Get more Sleep

Drink LOT's of fluid before you doze off, time it right with the right amount and after some practice you'll wake up (or piss yo self) right when you need to.

Get a very loud alarm clock, and put it out of your reach. So the only way to turn it off is to get up.

Sometimes being scared awake can really work, I used to set my PC to go off with Black Label Society at max volume.



These are a bit more difficult b/c they require will power, wich for me was often overcome by my laziness.


Start moving around, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, what ever.

Jump in the shower, don't turn the hot on till you're fully woke up.

Being woke up is the best, just have to find someone devoted. A friend of mine used to meet me in the morning for the Bus, I started leaving the door unlocked so he could come in and smack me.

Being woke up works cause there is no snooze button.

In grade school my grandmother used to call me about 15 mins after I should of already been up to make sure I got up. She would talk my ear off and ask questions to kick brain into working mode so to speak.

ahh if that was only the answer - it seems it makes no difference if I sleep 3 hours or 15 - I still can't wake up in the morning

I will have to try some of the pointers in this thread.

Loud alarm clock + Light sleeping girlfriend = winning combination.

Move you alarm clock away from your bed. So you have to get up and out of bed to turn it off. Then just fight the urge to crawl back in bed since you're out now.

[OneManArmy]

that doesnt work. either that or my urges are just far too strong to resist.

[Ivan]

I know first hand your urges are far to strong to resist.

I'll tell you what works. If you have a phone with a ring called siren. Put that somewhere out of reach but close enough for you to hear. Just use that as an alarm and make it go of 30 minutes before you have to get up. It will go off every 5 minutes untill you turn it off. Luckly for me i can hit the snooze button and it'll still go off until i go into the phone settings and shut it off.

Im about an hour late for work every day cause I don't want to get up, today I was 1.5 hours late. I have an alarm clock with dual alarms and I have it across the room so I have to get up to turn it off and then again 15 minutes later, but I always end up back in bed with my wife saying an hour later "You ever going to get up?" with no memory of my alarms ever going off. I suppose I should go to bed earlier than 12:30 am, but then the day is too short. I want more hours in the day.
