Before I retired I always sat my alarm but always woke up before it went off, just a habit I guess.

However, I used to habitually hit snooze and -- just as regularly -- regret it (since you don't really get good rest once you'be been awakened enough to hit the clock). One day, I just decided to quit the totally-unsatisfactory practice of using the snooze alarm and just started turning off the alarm and getting up right then. Even if I'm in a deep sleep or dream, once I'm up and start my morning routine, I'm fully-awake in just a few minutes. No more hitting snooze, only to later regret it, oversleeping, having to rush around in a panic getting ready at the last minute, etc.Grannybunnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246558210261863420.post-14481101259517211142011-08-24T12:42:27.106-05:002011-08-24T12:42:27.106-05:00@Brian Miller: They don't always wait for the...@Brian Miller: They don't always wait for the sun, either.

It didn't work for me this morning. <br /><br />@LL Cool Joe: The peace and quiet at work before everyone gets there is what I like, too. <br /><br />@Tempo: It's preferable to the stay after work thing. At 5 I'm ready to leave!<br /><br />@Anonymous: My daughter took the cats with her, so they are harassing her for their breakfast. Should I steal them back?

Somewhere between 3 to 6 ( but usually right about 5) one of our cats decides its breakfast time and insists one of us gets up. Will depend on the pet though.
