Alarm Clocks

I can only follow a sleep pattern. My body almost refuses to wake up unless I get a certain amount of sleep now. The biggest problem is getting to bed at a normal time. I haven't been climbing into bed until about 12:30 AM lately. :blackeye:

I end up sleeping through 2 alarm clocks. I check almost every night because I don't even remember hearing either of them go off in the morning. I'm not sure if I ignore them or if I shut them off while "sleeping".
 
I'm pretty sure I turn off my alarms while in some sort of sleep state. I literally wake up by chance. Last night i set my alarm for 6:50. This morning I woke up at 7:45. :shrug: I could have just as easily (and I have several times) woken up at 10 or 11 or 12 or 3pm. I am one sleepy mother F'r.
 
I remember waking up at 5:30 with my alarms vaguely, and then the next thing I remember I woke up, rolled over to look at the clock, and it was 7:25 :blackeye:
 
Suggestions- get into a sleep pattern. Working nights doesn't make this easy.

Put your alarm as far across the room as you can. Keep it out of arm's reach. Turn it up, LOUD, preferably on a station you can't stand to listen to. That'll get you out of bed quickly and keep you there.

I do the same, yet its still far easier to get back in bed after I hit snooze, than it is to put pants on.

The secondary phone alarm is the savior. Having to actually look at the touch-screen to slide the unlock out of the bubble, then choose dismiss or snooze, ensures that I am awake enough to notice what time the clock says next to the snooze button so I know how many I have left.
 
Two alarms this morning....6:30, 6:50. Across the room. Woke up for each to turn them off, and then went back to bed immediately after. Final wakeup time...7:45 :blackeye:
 
funny, this morning I set my alarm on my phone for 5:45 and I was up with-in minutes. but then again I had an hour drive to make home this morning so I could get ready for work and head in.
 
Uhoh, I may have to drive nearly two hours from my house to get to a job site for a few days either next week or the week after...and get there by 7am! :shocked: :blackeye:
 
Especially if I have to work at Big Y on those nights. If that is the case, I shall discuss the motel idea with my boss! Dang! lol
 
My alarm is set for 4:10. I get up at 4:30. Sitting at my desk at 6:15-6:30.
