this woke me up after setting it on three hundred minutes, then fell back asleep, woke me up again, but my eyes remained shut and my body didn't move, then it went off again but couldn't fall back asleep, I am now sitting eating some cereal waiting for this tylenol pm to kick in.
I find that I need to wake up for 45 minutes after sleeping for 5 hours. Due to my past attempts in trying to LD over the past month, I am now conditioned to wake up after sleeping 5 hours without using an alarm. When I go back to bed I have three additional times set in the timer on my notebook that come up first, 4 min, 3 min, and 4 min. This allows me the time to relax using the Stop, Drop, and Roll technique moving to the next position when the alarm sounds. This way I don't have to start the alarm after I am relaxed. I really don't know yet how effective this is, for in a few minutes I will be making my third attempt. :)
