How do you wake up?

On workdays, Sierra or Serenity usually wake me a few minutes before the alarms start going off. I have 3 alarms set for different times, otherwise, I would never get up. I lie there as long as possible snuggling up with my girls until I must drag myself out of bed. My brain doesn't begin to kick in until quite some time later, and I most certainly am not a morning person.

Cranky!

I always set my alarm for whatever time I need to be up but I always wake up a few minutes before it.

I used to be one of those people who set my alarm for an hour before I had to get up and then snoozed six times, but since we got the puppies they are onto it for me. On the dot, 7.10am, I hear the patter of not-so-tiny feet outside the door, and I know it's time to get up or the patter turns into a full-blown riot! They even beat the cats to getting me up!!

when i have to do somehting i set my phone alarm, but if i dont i have two hungry kitties who will headbutt me and dig into my blanket and attack my feet and paw at my face if i dont get up to feed them

Alarms wn't wake me up

I only sleep for 5 hours at a time, then I wake up.. wide awake.
If I went to bed late and am not up by 6:30-7, then Apollo will jump on the bed and drool in my face.

Recently i have had trouble with insomnia, so i sleep through my alarm for about ten to twenty minutes these weekdays. BTW, my alarm goes off at 5. I never use the snooze, because my mother(the pediatrician) says they are very bad for you, making you unusually tired for hours afterward.

On weekends, my dad wakes me up so i wont get too far off of schedule, which makes me mad.

I usually wake up about half an hour before my alarm clock goes off, so I can turn it off and go back to sleep with no disruptions!

You know, that does make sense. I also do not use snooze, because of the fact it makes me so mad. lol. It really does make for a grumpier day.

I hate waking up!
I usually hit the snooze button a couple of times and set my alarm to go off early so I can do this...silly year?

One of my new years resolutions is to get up at 6:15am every week morning so I can get ready for work on time, get the 3 kids ready for school on time and not have to rant!!

Now that I am working nights, I'm getting a whole new routine established. I get finished work at 8:30 AM, and usually get home around 9:15. I will lay down then for my main sleep of the day, I tell Tybalt that if I am not up by 7 PM to wake me. I usually end up waking up around 1 or 2 though, thanks to cat noses in my face. I get up then for a while and then lay back down around 4 until 7:30, at which time I wake up with my alarm clock. My clock wakes me to church bells.
