    That can also be your poor fucking housemate if you got one. One day, after 5 snoozes at 5am, I went to the dude’s door and yelled, “Either get the fuck up or I’ll pour an ice-cold bucket of water over your head and bed the next time it rings!” I wasn’t joking. He never used the snooze function again.

      I didn’t make that sort of threat or anything, but I sure as hell got mad when my wife did something like 8 snoozes one morning when I got to sleep in. Being half asleep and angry really sucks. Thankfully, she never did it again.

      You know the “most annoying noise in the world” bit from Dumb and Dumber? I had a roommate with THAT and about five other loud ass annoying things as his alarms. If I didn’t have to get out of bed to do so I would have done the same.

    Better option, go old school.

    Don’t use your phone alarm, buy an alarm clock. One with a very loud alarm that does not stop until you turn it off.

    Place in your room as far away from the bed as possible, so that you have to get out to turn it off.

      I used to do this when I was a kid. Then as I got older my body learned how to grab objects while still sleeping and throw them at the clock.

      That’s when I just got an alarm clock with a sound that would scare me half to death. Nothing wakes you up better than your heart rushing blood to your brain.

    I used to do this, and then I got a beagle. Now, if I don’t get up with the first alarm, my beagle screams until I get up. He’s so loud lol

    I’ve not used any alarm at all for the past 20 years. It’s amazing. I just automatically wake up at the same time every day. And go to sleep about the same time every day.

    Adjust your life so you can do this, if you can.

      This only happened to me when I was in my 30s. I think my brain chemistry did not allow me when I was younger and in my 20s to do this. Now I can barely stay up late and I wake up consistently before my alarm.

    Once you learn about the magical alarm app Gentle Wakeup (paid, worth it, made by a doctor), you will throw all your alarms out of the window. It changed my life.

    Wanna hear genuinely useful sleep tips?

    • Get your sunshine fix for Vitamin D. It regulates body’s internal clock aka circadian rhythm. 20-30 minutes twice a week, with minimum clothing for maximum exposure.
    • Calculate your sleep cycles. It varies between 90-100 minutes, and you take 4-5 of them. Usually 4 if not an old age person.
    • Use the Gentle Wakeup alarm app and set it accordingly with nice music.
    • Set one alarm at the end of 3rd sleep cycle block, and one at the 4th (or 4th and 5th if old age).
    • Sleep at night as intended, and not at 6am scrolling like a zombie. Even 12 midnight can work out well for an office goer.

    Your sleep is fixed.
