Early mornings

[scarr89]

Does anyone here have trouble getting up in the mornings for work etc. I work 1 week of days then 1 week of nights and just don't wake up when working days sometimes!

I don't have a particularly early start time on days, 0730, and I can walk to work, but for some reason I really really really struggle to WAKE up. I always set minimum of 4 alarms on my phone on full volume and place out of arms reach...but this still sometimes doens't wake me up  :embarassed: I don't go to bed late when working days either or drink during the week (most of the time).

What do any of you heavy sleepers do? Any hints/tips to wake up?

You need a second alarm tone, rather than the phone - you're obviously resistant to that one.

O god your going to get slated... can't get up for 7:30 

I used to have to be at work for 5am

set up some contraction that pours water over you at said time

No, I used to be up at 0530 and drive to London everyday when I was 18-20, had no trouble with that! Now 23 I seem to just not wake up!?

I have 4 alarms, that are all set at like 3-5min intervals, 4 different alarms tones...Is there such a thing as becoming immune to a certain alarm tone? 

I'm going to Tescos this weekend to buy one of those old fashion mother f**k*rs!

Do you enjoy your job? I only ask as I hated the company and my work I did at my last job and found it impossible to wake up for work and would often over sleep. I tried lots of different things, including getting an old fashioned hammer type alarm clock which woke everyone else in the house up but myself, lots of different alarms on my phone and an electric alarm clock too!!! Changed jobs & company and found it easier to wake up in the mornings, same phone and alarms set on it.

I love my job. There are quite a few perks to my job, and I have access to anything I could ever want/need...Just I cannot wake the f**k up! 

I'm defo going to try one of those hammer and bells ones!

i found that if i keep the window open i am up before the alarm goes off

but when the window is closed i struggle

could have something to do with the quality of air in the room

wire a klaxon horn to an alarm and put it next to your ear

I get trouble getting out of bed in the morning, so I started by moving my alarm clock to the other side of the room. Didn't last long though as one morning I moved my bed over to the alarm clock too.

I find it hard to wake up, although not so much with the light mornings. In winter I'm really bad though.

I use an app called 'alarm clock xtreme' - you can set it so that you have to solve simple maths sums to get it to shut up, or shake it for a given time, or do a captcha

I find 10 sums usually wakes me up enough to realise I need to get out of bed!
