LOL the second one would be SOOO AWESOME!! Waking up to the smell of bacon (non-Michael Scott way)... that'd be sweet.

I wake up to an alarm clock (a singing Hello Kitty, to be specific) that is out of reach from my bed. That way, I have to get up to turn it off. Gigi gave me that idea... works pretty well, except now I just go and set it to a later time and go back to sleep.

2 alarms, most of the time, or 1.

I set my work clothes out the night before, so I get dressed in under 2 mins., then I'm off to work.

I, literally, wake up 15 mins before I go in.


And, wtf@SnūzNLūz.
LOL@Wake n' bacon. Now, THAT sounds like a good investment.

3 alarms. I don't really know what I do after that third alarm, because I usually go back to sleep, but then I just wake up and get up.

3 alarm clocks and a damn lot of snooze. It's not the best system; today, for example, I got up an hour later than I meant to.

I make my friends call me. The smart ones wait until they actually see me online before getting off the phone.

I'm a really really light sleeper, so I wake up if people are talking, or someone's up. I usually put my phone on my bed when I sleep, so when it vibrates once, I'll wake up.

and then my usual, is at 7:30am Alarm, and I usually snooze till 8 but today I didn't leave the house till like 10:30 lol.

my alarmclock is on the other side of the room so I have to get up to turn it off, but usually, it never works and I end up going back to sleep..

Then 9:30 on weekends, usually.

I put my phone really far away from my bed so I have to get up and turn it off if I want the racket to stop. By that time I'm already far enough from my bed to be too lazy to walk back to it, so I just go and brush my teeth.

EDIT// As evidenced by Joanne's explanation XD

I do that but it doesn't work for me because although I get up and turn off my alarm clock, in that expanse of time I'm not awake enough to actually NOT go back to bed. because I usually do. :( i just walk back to bed and sleep T_T

My cell phone alarm.
I set it for 5, which becomes 5:15 and then 5:45.
I'm so lazy and demotivated in the mornings.

Haha, thats what my grandma does to my alarm clock. She puts it all the way in the living room so that I have no choice but to turn it off since I'm usually the first one up before my dad and I have to let him sleep. pinch.gif

I heard about this alarm clock that rolls off your table when it rings and you basically have to chase it around to turn it off, by then, you're already awake so I guess it works.

My alarm clock is on my nightstand, so I just reach over and turn it off, then keep sleeping for a little longer. At my old house I had my alarm clock in front of my bed, so I had to sit up and turn it off, but I always flopped back down to sleep more anyway.

The first clock seems stupid and the second would never work for me :[

I set my cellphone for 6 am and turn it off, the lie there for 5 mins and get up..

I always set my alarm clock 15-30 minutes earlier than the time that I need to get out of bed, that way when I hit the snooze I still wake up on time.

^ A TV would be GREAT way of waking me up. I'm such a TV freak, I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.

But then again, I'd waste time watching the show instead of getting up and ready for school or whatever.
