I rarely set an alarm clock. Or I set one, like Sallers, but I'm up before the activation time. But I'm trying to sleep a little later, honestly. I'm not successful. I also talked with a doctor about nightmares and the like...I'm trying meditating before bed now.My alarm clock is annoying as hell. I'd love one that slowly wakes me up to music on my Zune or something, but I'm too cheap to buy one of those.
I set mine, but I wake up before it goes off, and switch it to radio, and then drowse through about twenty minutes of NPR before finally getting up. I hate getting up.
i don't set an alarm unless i have to be really early to catch a flight or something. otherwise for a work i just sort of get up near the same time. my schedule is somewhat a flex time deal
I usually don't need to set mine, Jake will wake me up to make his lunch. But it usually doesn't even come to that - even when I worked or these days when I do need to set an alarm clock I wake up 2 minutes before. I have a pretty good sense of time during the day too. Oh, but on those days I always set the alarm, otherwise I won't sleep because of anxiety!
On the days I work I set the alarm for 4 PM but I usually wake up spontaneously. Sometimes the cats (it's usually Poopie) will randomly decide there is an emergency requiring my immediate attention and wake me up considerably earlier.
Mary has a cat named Poopie.That is all.
i use my cell phone as an alarm clock. i use spongebob and patrick confront the psychic wall of energy (flaming lips) or black plant (last shadow puppets). i always make sure i still have an hour of 30 minutes for reading or other waking up activities before actually getting out of bed.

Sometimes my mom goes downstairs, makes coffee, gets the paper, and comes back up to get in bed to read and drink the first cup.
I think that people internal clocks where alot more sensitive pre electricity they had to go to bed earlier so they woke up earlier! And I work 3rd shift so My alarm doesnt have a snooze button It just keeps saying Honey you better get up! its more pleasant than a beeping but Im usually wake up before she has to wake me anyway!And I read in bed before I have to get up to fiction seems to make reality easier to deal with and Im a proud book junkie! And before bed! I probably dream about reading!lol
I like the name Poopie. Hopefully it's not referring to a stinky butt.

Stinky butts happen, Lori. It's part of the joy of caring for cats, eh?
No but I can almost guarantee that Illinois and Indiana are just like Identical twins from the way they look and thinkId have say stinky butts are a part of life in general Im assuming unless you have ocd thing with washing your butt!lol TP GETS THE MASS but Im sure that it leaves the aroma!
What an appropriate response couldnt our all knowing all seeing creator have gave us a better way to excrete? LOL
I stagger all five of my alarms on my alarm clock and my phone so that they go off at different times over an hour. I have to set each of them to a different ringtone and change them up every 6 months or so in case I get used to the alarm. i.e. I'm v. hard to wake up - I've slept through a hurricane, tornadoes, a house fire, police searching the house for a break in... slept through it all, undisturbed. I sleep through my alarms quite often.One can train themselves to wake at a certain time (and I can do it on occasion) by focusing on "I'm going to get up at (time). I'm going to get (fill in) hours of sleep." about the time one drifts off to sleep. I can't do it all the time, though... I sure wish I could depend on that. Goodness knows the alarm clocks don't always work for me.
The cat's name of record is Laszlo but for some reason I started calling him Poopie a couple of years ago and it's just, well....stuck. Excuse the double entendre. His butt is quite tidy if you must know.
I've woken up to the same Sony stereo since I was thirteen. I used to use really loud CDs but now I usually have Sloan Wainwright's "Cool Morning" in there, because it starts with a heartbeat and I don't need the jolting wakeup anymore.I get in big trouble if I try to hit snooze, so I deliberately keep the stereo across the room now. That makes me get out of bed to turn it off, at which point I might as well get up.
I've woken up three of the last four days between 3:50 and 3:55AM, with the alarm set at four. I don't think the alarm has activated in weeks. I'm up before then.
My dog wakes up between 6:00 and 6:15 every morning, so I don't bother with an alarm clock except if I need to be up earlier than that for some reason.

I've used a radio alarm clock for years, and I cannot stand to have to wake up to a buzzer. The buzzer always jolts me awake and scares the crap out of me - the radio starts nice and soft and I still hear it.
well, I have an atomic alarm clock that makes this little chimes that get shriller until I shut it off. But usually, I am awake before it goes off which is generally 7:15 AM. I am usually awake about 6:45 AM. Depends on what time I took my sleep meds and actually got to sleep. I have had insomnia forever. I can remember being 3 and not being able to go to sleep. I consider 6.5 to 7 hrs. sleep a good night.
Shouldn't the title of this thread be "Clockadoodle Do!"? RA said not to drop the l...
Where is that l? I know I dropped it around here somewhere ....
I think the last time we set an alarm clock in our house was when we had to catch an early flight.
I have it Larry, but you're gonna have to come get it.
My alarm is set for 4:30 every morning but I invariably wake up between 4:15 and 4:25.

Wide awake and doing laundry today at 4:30 a.m. Usually, it's more like 5:30 or 6. No alarm clock for me. But I do go to bed pretty early.
I rarely use mine. I set it, but I usually wake up between twenty and two minutes before it goes off and I turn it off and get up so the sound doesn't wake up Sweeter. I have a really strong internal clock - for naps I tell myself "I want to wake up at 3" and I will.
I know RA wakes up wikked early - is that cause you set your alarm clock, friend? or is it because you don't sleep deeply?
What about the rest of you? Are you usually up early/before your alarm? Or do you snooze three or four times.
What does your alarm clock sound like? Buzzes? Rings and bells? NPR? Hip Hop?
