Thread: Fighting with an alarm clock

I have had this problem too.

I usually make a little obstacle for myself. For example, I will stack stuff on top of my alarm so I have to remove it when I turn it off. This usually wakes me up enough. I couple it with trying to remember my intention for that night.

My alarms a tiny $3 dollar clock thats right on the edge of my futon, so it's in my reach. I usually hit snooze until it wont beep anymore and then I'll usually get up. This morning I woke up 2 minutes before it beeped though so maybe that will happen more often.

That's interesting, I do the same thing somtimes, wake up before your alarm, but just before. I wonder what causes that.

buy a cat that meows to get fed early every morning.

Let me know if your up for that, I'll give you mine.
It works - trust me.

It's really common. We have an internal clock.

Once I wake up at the same time for more than three days in a row, I start to wake up a few minutes, or even seconds, before my alarm clock. I think the fact that my alarm beep is most likely the most annoying in the world contributes.

I wonder why that is. I do it somtimes also.

I also experience waking up before my alarm is set to go off. Almost everytime I have to go to work or wake up for something actually. Weird.

Like Mes Tarrant said, it's your internal clock. If you know what time you want to wake up, your body will do it. I had my alarm set at 7:30 today, I woke up at 7:28.

Ah man, I did the same thing. I think I'm catching on.
