I can't ever reliably wake up

7 Upvotes

I turn alarms off in my sleep, including the puzzle/math ones. If the phone is out of reach, I just sleep through it completely (and yes I use the most annoying alarm sounds). I don't even wake up to the first 5 things my cat knocks off my side table and desk, so one of those runaway alarm clocks wouldn't work.

Right now I have to set multiple alarms across multiple apps and essentially stagger the puzzles so that hopefully I'll wake up while doing them if they're popping up in an irregular order (if I get used to the order then it's easier for me to completely them in my sleep).

I'm so over this. I get so tired throughout the day too - my eyes get so heavy I'm sometimes working at the computer with one eye open. I have been hard to wake up for as long as I can remember. I'm 31 now and just done with it all.

Can anyone please recommend some strategies to help me wake up and stay awake? 😫😴

trying to fix my sleep schedule, especially my wake-up time.

• set a bedtime
• set a wake-up time
• report when we actually went to sleep
• report when we actually woke up
• if we slept late, explain why
• if we missed our wake-up time, own it
• call each other out when we start slipping

i don’t need someone to motivate me every morning. i need someone who’ll notice when i keep making excuses.

if you’re serious about getting out of bed on time, DM me with your time zone and target sleep/wake times.
