Anyone else have the problem where you cannot sleep if the sun is up? I even tried blackout curtains, but somehow my body knows it's time to get up when the sun comes up.

As soon as the sun peeps through the east window, I wake up. Drove my wife crazy at first. Now we don't have an east window anymore!

During The Work Week...

My watch has 2 alarms set for 5:00 am and 5:01. It's attached to me for the mild waking should I hear them.

Cell phone has 3 alarms, 1st set for 5:02, 2nd for 5:03, and 3rd for 5:04. I gotta reach over 3 times to get a little more blood flow going.

Last alarm is a travel alarm set on top of the shelf away from the bed set for 5:05. At this point, I must actually get up and stretch to shut that annoying thing off!

Weekends...

Waking up and getting up are two different things. I don't recall how I actually get outta bed on Sat.

If its anything like me, its a slow, half-conscious crawl, and a struggle all the way.

Thirty minutes after you first become aware, of course.

When alarm rings, I get out of bed. Then quick shower. Then some push ups. After that I'm fully awake!

So how quiet is your house?

Not once in my lifetime I ever thought about placing an alarm clock somewhere out of my reach, ever.

It's a good idea though, so I'll try that method, haha.

I just have a bad habit of shutting off my alarm clock when it wakes me up the first time, then not remembering if I ever did turn it off, until it's nearly too late to arrive to work on-time.

Edit: Then again, wouldn't I end up jumping back in bed after turning it off...? I need a pet, or something to bite me for a wake up call.

I set my alarm 30 minutes before I have to be up and during that time I go in an out of sleep every few minutes while glancing at the clock. Only if I'm absolutely dead tired will I not be able to wake up during that 30 minutes.
