Thread: How do you keep yourself from sleeping in?

It's the laziest method out there. Learn it.

Yes, I do the same thing as I sleep with my wife. I can not use a tape and should not turn on the light, so I scribble in the dark. Boy, my handwriting is so bad half asleep in the dark, but it works great.
