Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 i try to set the clock in the bedroom ahead a few minutes. catphish resets it from time to time i think, and we never tell each other when we've made adjustments.also i try to push the time ahead after i've tippled a bit so that i trick myself into not realising what i've done the next morningi guess i find that an extra 4-6 minutes in the morning can make a big difference in what time i get to work...or maybe i'm slowing going insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 The worst part about getting up in the morning is the fact that it's still dark. I never thought I'd be getting up before the dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paan Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I have found that the time you get up in the morning is irrelevant. Whether I have to get up at 7am... or 11am, I would just be adjusting my 'got to bed' time accordingly, and still not want to get up either way. It really comes down to... do you have to get up because you have to, or are you getting up because you want to. I feel that regardless of what time it is, I consider it sleeping-in if I am getting up on my own volition, and not being forced to.... and usually a zombie until that first cup of kicking horse.

backbacon Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Weekdays, I set my clock for 6:25, which is actually about 5:40 because my clock is ahead by about 43 minutes. Some quick math to figure out what time it acually is and a hit of the snooze bar and it's back to sleep for another 9 minutes.. ahhhh... so nice. I repeat this until I have to get up at 7:15, which is actually 6:35. No problems getting up... especially if I have my clothes laid out and can look forward to that. On the road by 7am. (Which is actually 6:55 since my car clock is 5 minutes fast.)Weekends, wake up whenever, instantly feel like gettin' into 'er, sometimes do!

AdamH Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 The alarm is set for 7:00. The CBC comes on and I listen to about four rounds of the morning news, Judy Madrin's soothing voice, that current whore's annoying interview style, and then I cry when they have the play reviewer lady Edweena whatshername. But on the other hand Rita Cielli at least got my out of the bed running when she came on. I am generally confused and very very angry. I never have time for coffee and I'm always walking to work so at least by that time I'm starting to wake up a bit.On the weekends I promise myself a nap and never take it. Lately it's because ewvery weekend I go to fucking home depot for more home improvement shit that honestly I don't need. I'll usually deal with this by either drinking alone in a dark room or watching old episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm...I think larry David and I are on the same wavelength.

Velvet Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I get up whenever I want and I love it very much. There are four days a year that I have to get before 9am, and they are usually very inconveniently placed. For example, my next pre-9am wakeup is scheduled for January 13th.

bradm Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 For example, my next pre-9am wakeup is scheduled for January 13th.You're expecting to get to bed/sleep before 9am after the night of Jan. 12?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Not that I'm proud of this, but I have the hardest sleep schedule. I work 12 hour shifts on a two week rotation. The first two weeks are 7am-7pm (I get up at 5:50am); the second two week schedule is 7pm-7am (I'm up now and because my body clock is all fucked up). I have a weekend every two weeks to adjust when I have to start the next two week schedule.The hardest is adjusting to the morning shift schedule. Example: Going to bed on Friday morning at 7:30am and having to get up for work on Monday morning at 5:50am.Last night was tough since I was on days for the last two weeks, off on the weekend, and I worked my first night shift last night. Basically, I don't sleep well and haven't for eight years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Jane Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 OMG....I have SO enjoyed reading this thread! Thanks for this QoTD, Mr. King 6:30 amHorny. most honest answer! 6:15amsinging silly songs "and I buzz, buzz, buzz....and I buzz, buzz, buzz"...never saw it Lynnie....but I have the most burned in (happy) image possible of you in a yellow bra dancing around the apartment! I also have fond memories (again, just from your posts) about you & Booche having farting contests in the car on the way to work (AWESOME way to 'wake-up'!!) I LOVE you both, knowing you make Dave & I seem, if not 'normal', at least 'average'! almost most honest: 6:30 AM. Depressed, alternating with angry. Sometimes anxious. this was me, before our move to greener (llama-filled) pastures. Now-a-days, I give into Dave's need for the snooze button (6:00 am; 4 or 5 presses, until 6:36 or something) until we both stumble into the shower together! I highly, highly recommend this as a way to allieviate any 'morning feelings' and at least give one the resilience to face the day ahead. cheers!
