    How do you wake up in the morning? Not your morning routine (I get up take a shower, shave, eat, etc etc) I don't want that.

    I want to know when it is time wake up/get up, how do you do it.


    Me, I like to set my alarm about an hour early and then snooze 4 or 5 times.
    I get physically out of bed, hit the snooze button on my alarm, climb back into bed and go back to sleep. I find I have excellent dreams during this time. When it is time to actually get up I find it is easier to get up before the final snooze goes off. It just feels better to get up when the alarm isn't blaring.

    I have a really hard time just waking up and getting a move on, i like to stay in bed for as long as possible.

    Alarm is set 20 minutes early for snoozing. Then I toss off ...... the blanket and climb off the mattress.

    My TV comes on at 6 20 (my clock is broken so this is my only means of an "alarm" at the moment) It slowly wakes me up so I can get out of bed at about 6 45, shower etc. etc.
    I have the same thing with real good dreams. Whatever is on the news affects my dreams at that time in the morning. I feel as if I am having premenitions of what has happened!

    I'm exactly the same, some weird as dreams and a smug feeling when you beat the final alarm.

    For some reason if I've been drinking I'll be up at 6 the next day, feels really good but if I'd been sober it'd kill me to do that :confused:

    usually first alarm goes of around 7, which is usually on radio1, then about 5 minutes later second alarm goes off which is a buzzer to get me out of my comfortable state of sleepiness!

    I usually wake before my alarm, I like the feeling of waking up naturally and knowing I've got a few minutes to lie in bed before getting up.

    I leave the blinds open so light naturally wakes me up somewhat and I have the alarm set for 0650. That gives me ten minutes of snooze if I feel like sleeping and rushing that morning.

    I set my alarm for 6.30 and then snooze till 7.30, but at the moment the sunis kinda helping me wake.

    I get up and get dressed and washed straight away, then I turn on Everybody loves Raymond and grab a bowl of museli, then I have to clean the bowl and rush out. I have to do all this in abut 15 minutes! Oh and I sleep with the tv on.

    I usually wake up 5 mins before my alarm goes off, start the computer and find some caffiene.

    Unless of course I'm working nights, in which case I go straight to bed when I get home at 0800 and sleep until 1500.

    Either that, or I get paged for work in which case I rocket across the bed reaching for the phone before I'm even a little awake, squishing my GF and traumatizing the cat.
