How Do You Wake?
So I’m curious … how do you wake up in the morning? Do you need an alarm? More than one? Is it next to your bed? Or does it need to be across the room so you HAVE to stand up and not get back into bed?
My routine goes something like this … If I’m waking my daughter for school at say 6:50, I will set my iPhone alarm for 6:30 and another alarm (on same phone) for 6:50. The 6:30 is so I wake up and come to myself before having to drag my body out of bed to turn on her light and make sure she wakes up. If I know I’m going to get involved in something once I wake her, I’ll set another alarm for 10 minutes later so I don’t forget to make sure she’s actually out of bed. In other words, I need a pre-wakeup, wakeup! On the weekends, I don’t set an alarm. AND if it’s during the week and for some reason I don’t need to wake her up first, I set my alarm for 7:30 so I don’t sleep in and I make sure I get my day moving! HOW DO YOU WAKE?

need an alarm - just one next to my bed. my hubby sets it @ 4 a.m. to wake up; then he sets @ 5 a.m. to wake me up. i often fall back asleep after the 4 a.m. alarm; sometimes not - i just lay there with my eyes closed enjoying the bed by myself. weekends no alarm unless we need it like for a trip or some event for the children.
