  • How many times do you get up before you wake up and get out of bed?

    Wondering if I am the only one, today I was suppose to get up and out the door by 5am, so I set my alarm for 4am - it went off about 5 x's before I GOTUP... Alarm went off at 4am..so I crawled out of bed and dragged my butt across the room to my desk with my one eye open and hit 'snooze' and walked all the way back across the room and into my bed... I did this 5 times this morning, till i finally just woke up and jumped in the shower...anyone else???

    BTW ( I put it across the room and on my desk because if it was on the night stand next to me I would just hit snooze and roll back over and go to sleep )

    I always, always set my alarm to ring 3 times before I need to wake up. First alarm rings 30 minutes before, second rings 15 minutes before, last one rings when I need to wake up. Then I stay in bed for 15 minutes before I get up lol

    I've done this for the last 2 years, so it's routine now. Only when I've had to drive to the airport at the crack of dawn have I actually got out of bed when the alarm first went off lol

      I am up in the mornings by 6am regardless of an alarm. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up -- so I haven't set an alarm for a long time now. I usually get up about 5:30 or so and start my day. Before I lost weight, I couldn't drag myself out of the bed before 8am.

        Dreamof145, I need to get into that habit, my work schedule just varies but now that kiddo is in school we are both getting into a bit of a schedule I still need an alarm though.

        I guess Steph and I are the only nuts around here that need 3 alarms or more : )

          My husband can do this..I've always been very jealous!

          I hit snooze 3-4x before i get up. I also set my alarm clock 1/2 an hour fast, which drives my hubby nuts. I've done it for so long now I can't not do it or i'd end up waking up 1/2 an hour late every day, i'd be assuming it was 1/2 an hour earlier than it is.

            I hit the snooze a couple times every morning. And I set the alarm on my cell phone every single night too, just in case the power goes out.

                I usually hit snooze at least 3 times before I actually get up. The alarm is on the night stand next to the bed, so there are times when I can hit it without even realizing it.

                I've tried setting the alarm fast, but I always know that it's fast and I can get extra time. LOL

                  I've been getting up right on time since a restarted Atkin's. I have to get up because my bladder is sooooooo full. It's my alarm clock now.

                    I have done that too, but then I find myself sitting in bed thinking ok.. it's my clock says it's 430am, last night I set the clock 20 minutes ahead so it's actually 410am, and I really can add an extra 10mins of sleep because I have my food cooked for today, so I can stay in bed for another 45 minutes! that's awesome... oh wait I have to stop and get gas this morning that's like 10-15 minutes, then I am going to catch traffic on I30...

                    It's 4am trying to do math and by the time I figure it out it's time to get up anyway...

                      ROFL - that's me, too. All my clocks are fast - it's the days I'm too groggy to do the math that I jump up and end up ahead of schedule before realizing what time it really is. To make it work even better, each clock is a different amount ahead, so it keeps me on my toes. The alarm is 1 1/2 hours fast & goes off at "7" & then every 9 minutes until I'm up around "8:45" so I and DS can be dressed and downstairs by "9" AKA '7:40' in the LR 15 minutes B4 the schoolbus time of 7:45.

                      Actually, even if the power goes off I usually wake up on time. I also get up 1-3 times in the middle of the night to drink water &/or pee. But on weekends, I sleep in whenever possible to make up for it all.

                        All my clocks are also set fast, and I also hit snooze at least 3 times. It might actually ruin my marriage. It totally makes my husband crazy!
