How do you get up in the morning

No lads I'm not talking about down there, I mean getting out of bed for important things such as school, job, paper round (:S), meeting friends etc. I just can't seem to do it anymore, I set my alarm for 6:45 last sunday and snoozed it until 8:30 before getting up. Then today I was suppose to be going to town with someone bright and early, but noooooo I have to snooze my alarm clock for like an extra hour before turning it off thinking that I would get up in a second but actually went back to sleep.

I was finding I was doing this a lot more since I stopped uni and a 5 min snooze ended up and extra hour in bed! :P

What I do is I set at least 2 alarms... but the trick is not to keep them next to you! For instance, if mine was right next to me I would smack it with my hand til it shutup and get back to sleep... whereas if you sit it at the other side of your room or something you actually have to get your arse out of bed and turn it off...

No matter what time my alarm is set my body always seems to know when to wake up... For example last week I had to get up and 08.30 every morning, so I set my alarm and I naturally woke up at 08.25... the week before I had to get up at 06.30 and naturally woke up at 06.25 I dunno how I know to wake up it just sort of happens :O

If I don't have an alarm on my body knows to stay asleep until like 11.30 :D

You have to be strict with yourself, no snooze on your alarm just get out of bed!

I set 2 alarms one on my phone and one on my ipod with 5 mintues between then so it gives me time to wake up and isn't as harsh.

I set my alarm on my phone for 6:20 and then snooze it once. It's just like a warning to let me know I'm going to be getting up in ten minutes. Sometimes I fall straight back to sleep but other times I just lay there and wake up and wait for the second alarm to go off.

I don't know how I get up though. I just do it. Like I don't think of the **** day I've got ahead until I'm actually out of bed, and just think it'll be over soon. I suppose for me it's not the getting up that's the problem, it's what I've got ahead that day.

I go to bed reasonably early too, between 9 and 12 on weekdays and between 11-2 on weekends.

Absently

I get verbally abused until I am forced to roll out of bed and cry on the floor like a small child who has lost his favourite toy.

I usually set my alarm for half an hour or an hour earlier to when I have to get up. When it goes off, I hit snooze and just keep hitting snooze until I'm awake properly, because I can't sleep properly with the alarm going off every five or so minutes anyway and it gives me a chance to wake up properly then I generally manage to get up on time.

Set alarm for half six then when it goes off I open the blind so I can't get back to sleep.

Set two alarms, one half an hour earlier than the one at the time you need to get up. Normally works for me.

Sometimes I have this really weird thing where I'm like asleep, but thinking about stuff, and then I suddenly think **** ive gotta get up, then i like force myself to wake up n it turns out to be like 4am.

Caution

i wake to the radio as an alarm. it was worse getting up in the winter, but if i have to get up at like 7 it's light so it's not as bad now. my mum usually gets me up though, but i go back and it keeps getting worse to get up.

I'll be honest with you, I just get up when I hear it, but that's because I sleep at 10pm. LOL

Maybe, think of a chocolate in the morning, you wanna eat it, so leave one on the table the night before perhaps? LOL :S

Don't play Habbo anymore, but I can remember them late nights I had sat up in bed playing Habbo till like 5 in the morning or even all nighters. I once did 2 all nighters in a row but fell asleep the 3rd day while in history, I can barely stay awake the next day after doing an all nighter now so god knows how I did 2 in a row. :S

I went through a phase where I was able to get out of bed no problem, however I began to slip back into bad habits and it takes about 3 alarm clocks on my phone to get me up now!

If its for school, i think about what lessons i have, for example mondays, i have tripple art, so i have no problem getting out of bed

If its for going out with mates, i just get up anyway :S

If its for something else, its not important so i stay in bed
