Q: ...and I have lost long ago....

This is probably a random (and obvious) question...
I guess I'm mainly looking for feedback.

I am a snooze-junky. I press the snooze button, sometimes several times each morning, and lie in bed in a daze (often snoozing away), until the alarm rings again (in which case, I am likely to press snooze again). I don't know what to do to discipline myself. I set my alarm (cell phone) on a high volume, with the most annoying ring tone known to man, and all I do is hit snooze, fall back asleep, hit snooze again...and finally wake up when I absolutely HAVE to (as in, I have to rush to get ready & out the door).

This has been going on for a long time. I always tell myself that the next day will be different; that I will get up the FIRST time that my alarm goes off, and not the fifth. As you can tell, I am not an early bird, so I just make excuses and fall back asleep. I would say that this rates among my worst habits.

For anyone who does the same (or has at some point in the past), what do you do to just get out of bed and ditch the habit of pressing snooze? Any feedback or tips on getting up at the alarm?
Thanks!!

I got a new alarm clock. I snoozed ALL the time, but this alarm clock wouldn't let me. I can press snooze once for 5 extra minutes of sleep, and when that's up, it rolls off the nightstand and hides in corners, under my bed, et cetera. Like it has wheels and it's kind of cute. It cost $37 but well worth it. I have to set my alarm earlier now so I can find it!

I'll have to check it out...it may be the only thing that works!

bio

Happy 2008! My name is Dana for those of you who don't know, and I obviously love to give advice, because if I didn't, I wouldn't be here. I will pick at anyone who doesn't bother to capitalize their "I"'s or the beginnings of sentences. Proper grammar and spelling is very important to me. bcuz it Just loooks soooo sloppie when u type lyke this. So a word to the wise, and for the majority of you that it doesn't apply to, think about it, and watch yourself. Second of all, I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever write something that is not true. So therefore I am always right. So stand down and accept it. (Note: that also means that my "opinions" are actual facts. At least the ones I bother to write.)

Never ask me anything about how fat you are or love life. Cliched, I know, but I am heartless when it comes to the truth. If you don't know what to do with your cheating boyfriend that you still love, go ask someone else since I could not care less. Seriously.

Have a nice day!
Love,
missbananafontana

Also, if you wonder about the corrections on the answers I give, no worries; they're just simple corrections to those who don't know where to put a period, or that they have to capitalize the beginnings of sentences. Please don't be offended.
