    Does anyone here get out of bed as soon as their alarm goes off?

        Is that something you had to teach yourself or have you always done it?

          Getting enough sleep is very important to me and as a result, I’m able to just get out of bed immediately, feeling good enough to face the absurdity of this mortal coil.

          Also the cats are mere seconds away from starvation ! Haha

            I reckon I’d feel better if I could get out of bed as soon as I wake up, but it always feels soooo difficult!

            Cat has his own bedroom cause otherwise he wakes us up at 2am because he is S T A R V I N G (never mind there’s dry in his bowl!)

        Ha, yeah, that’s boyo’s routine. One for snuggle time, one for read/wake up brain time, then get up time. Which means I rarely use an alarm because I get up half hour after he’s gone. Maybe I should be getting up when his alarm goes off.

      Yes. Sometimes even before it goes off. No I’m not a sociopath,just a working mum who has too much shit to do and not enough time. So if i can get an extra 5 minutes I do.

        Yeah, my manager’s reaction when I asked him was “yes. I have kids.”

      I usually snooze a couple of times before getting up. Some days I have a phone scrolling session in bed which is a terrible way to start a day, but I’ve been working on doing that a lot less.

        I check my insta every morning, but it’s filled with puppies and other cute things, so it’s not too much of a drag down. But still shows so much I don’t gaf about, like ads!

      Yes. I’ve disabled the snooze function, and the time the alarm goes off is the time I need to get up. If I can afford a bit more time I don’t see the point in setting the alarm earlier and having a period of interupted sleep instead of just sleeping properly for as long as I can.

        I always worry that if I turn snooze off, I’ll sleep through the first alarm.

          My theory is that you are much more likely to do that if you have trained yourself to believe the alarm sound is unimportant by constantly hitting the snooze button.

      I sleep badly more often than not so most days I’m awake. Sometimes I get back to sleep and the dog wakes me up for walkies.

      Always. If my alarm goes off at that time there’s a reason and that reason is I have to get up.

      I’m a slow starter in the morning. I have some back exercises from the physio that I start doing at that time. Check for any new signups/user reports (I’m 3 hours behind, so there are usually a couple) and check out the front page in-between reps. I probably get up 15 minutes after it goes off. I don’t go back to sleep.

      Also: I am usually awoken by children being loud before my alarm goes off.

      I check the weather latest and overnight messages for 5 minutes, then get up.
