I set my alarm half an hour before I have to get up, with a second alarm when I have to get up. For some reason it works for me, the first time I'm like 'BLAAAAAAH FUCK YOU I'M STAYING IN BED' and the second time I'm like 'Oh fine.'

Also a tip; if you want to get up at the same time every day, eat breakfast every day, just after getting up. Your body clock will adjust and realise that this is the time to awake.

Doesn't work for me because my job has me doing extremely varied shifts so I have no regularity at all

EDIT: The fuck, why did that post come out huge.

Just think of snooze time as inefficient spending on time, it's not proper sleep, neither is it properly awake so it sux

That's quite ignorant.

Thing is people are different. Some have no problems in waking up in the morning others do, it's more than "man the fuck up" it's about how the body/brain works. Just as some need 5h of sleep others need 10h.

Going to bed an hour earlier isn't going to fix it for not-morning people. I'm not a morning person and no matter how much i sleep i still find waking up before 10 to be very hard.

I think it depends a lot on the metabolism. So i guess the only real advice for late-starters is to find a job with a flexible schedule or that doesn't start in the morning .

Of course I would like to lay in bed till whenever the fuck I wanted, but that's not realistic. If I had a gun pointed in your face and started counting down from 5 you would get up. You simply choose to prioritize sleep over getting up.


The example is very bad.

Starting from your idea of prioritizing things. Imagine the sleep having a maximum priority in the morning when you try to wake up. That while consciously at bedtime you prioritize getting up so you're not late for work. Did you change your mind during the night? Nope. Your body makes you do it. While you're in that semi-concious state in the morning the body says "sleep = priority".

Haven't you ever seen differences on how people are after woken up? Some even minutes after feel fresh and are fully conscious while others are like zombies that can't even comprehend what you're telling them.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

I overslept for work yesterday again, so last night I decided to try out one of those sleep cycle alarms where they wake you up when you're in "light" sleep based on your body movement. According to its graph, I didn't get around to light sleep - ____ - barely made it on time today.

I need to figure this out too, though -- I've actually slept through exams and important meetings, and my professors ask me if I'm narcoleptic.

if you're good with electronics, rig your alarm to trigger something unpleasant, say electrical shock pads or something. after a while, you probably wont even need the unpleasant stimulus anymore, as you'd be conditioned to anticipate it when your alarm goes off

Multiple alarm clocks in multiple locations is really the way to go if you have willpower issues. This helped me a lot - Just put one by your bed, and one or two far enough away that you have to get out of bed to turn them off. Once you get pulled out of your warm bed its a lot easier to come to your senses.

i don't turn off my alarm clock and go back to sleep because i have to wake up (school, work...etc) seems pretty simple. unless you're talking about the weekends, then i don't set an alarm clock.

also, the key to waking up is the sun. when i was in high school, my room pretty much had no sunlight so it was extremely hard to get out of bed.

however, i had to stay at my aunt's house for a week, and the room i stayed in would shine sunlight straight onto the bed. the light/warmth made me instantly wake up and feel refreshed at 7 AM every single day.

it blew my mind.

Everyone that knows me would know I'm not a morning person, but if stuff needs to be done than i agree: man the fuck up and just get out of that bed. Everybody hates that moment of actually getting out of bed. The thing that seperates the morning people from the non morning people (if there are any) is how fast you will wake up after that. If i havent slept enough ill be like a zombie until lunchtime. If i did sleep enough im still a zombie for atleast 1 / 1.5 hours. Excuses like "im physically or psychologically incapable of getting up before 10" wont cut it when real life starts.

If there are serious consequences to not getting up... I.E. work or school.. then it's really not that hard to get up..

I'm guessing there's really no need for you to get up earlier that's why you go back to bed.. If i was in your position I'd probably do the same thing.,

It helps to have something to look forward to. If there is something that I am excited to do in that day I have no problem getting up at all.

Yes but there's also the opposite. If you're having anxiety problems and you're under stress and/or something unusual should happen that day chances are you will feel even more sleepy - which is used by the body as a defense mechanism.

actually i wouldn't. What a relief that would be.


That has nothing to do with anything. This isn't really a good place for you to talk about your over-romanticized death wishes.
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.

This guy has no trouble sleeping. There's no such thing is a morning person or a not-morning person. That's just a preference we make. It can change and you can FUCKING GET OVER IT. No matter how hard you think it is to get out of bed and wake yourself the fuck up, it's not hard at all.

First world problems.


Yes there is. Just as there is people who can eat a lot and not get any fat and people who will put on fat while barely eating. The metabolism doesn't go the same for everyone.

You'll do it anyway because you must, but doesn't mean it's as easy for everyone and no it's not just psychological.


No. Morning/night person have nothing to do with waking up. Some peoples' bodies take longer to wake up than others. it has nothing to do with what fucking time it is. I never said it was as easy for everyone. The fact is that no matter how hard it is for the OP, it isn't actually hard. At its most difficult it's like getting yourself to brush your teeth when it's cold at night. Sure you might be uncomfortable with a cold bathroom but if you don't brush your teeth because it's cold you just have to accept that it's because you're being a child about it.
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.

Waking up in the morning is all about attitude, not about alarm clocks. It is easy to wake up if you want to be up and doing things, if you don't want to get up you won't, get pumped about what you are doing. Haven't you ever been excited about something and wake up at like 4am when you only had to be up at 8am? You had no problem getting up then, get a more positive attitude and you will have no problems. If you have nothing in your life you can get excited about what are you doing with your life?
