Snooze button

I normally set two alarm clocks. One on my cell phone and the other on a clock radio on the bookshelf.

This morning, I must have hit the snooze button on each about 20 times.

This quarter is kicking my ass and all I want is to sleep.

  1. that’s exactly how i felt everyday this winter intersession working full time, starting at 6am, having to commute from glendale to LAX at 5am…i feel your pain!
    btw, sorry i haven’t stopped by here in a while, looks like i have a lot of catching up to do!

  2. We have a fifteen year-old cat, who, once the alarm goes off and I hit snooze, comes and sits next to me on the bed and starts prodding me with her paws until I get outta bed. Mandona!

  3. i can sleep through the alarm most days. actually i can probably sleep through a roaring train. i’ve tried it all, best solution for me is to get to bed early. or when things get desperate i drink a tall glass of water the night before to force me up the next morning. suerte.

  4. sleep is underrated.

    I don’t think I get enough sleep, but I blame early mornings and late afternoons at work. when else am I supposed to do what I’m supposed to do (read: what I *want* to do).

    I use my cell as a primary wake-up device, then my alarm clock as both secondary and emergency tertiary. Yes, sometimes even I go through all three.

  5. LOL I do that too… but I have no important things to do… just get off my lazy butt. LOL

    I hate that feeling though. When you want to sleep in but you know there is no way in hell you can. Augh! Don’t miss it.

  6. These people are crazy my dear. Next time hit the snooze button with a hammer and get rid of the damn alarm clock. If god wanted us to wake up so ridiculously early, he would have planted an alarm clock in the garden of eden. Hey, it’s raining! I love the rain.

  7. Jeff,
    I think I might start using a third. I’ve slept through way too many important things since I’ve been on my own and don’t have my parents to drag me out of bed.

    Santiago,
    Oh, I think I’ve been doing it since I had an alarm clock (I think high school).

    EMC,
    I got more sleep this weekend. :D

    CAD,
    Now, why would I want to be so cruel to myself and get such an alarm clock?

    Frances,
    Rhodiola looks like something I should look into. Thanks!

    Vicky,
    Eek. I don’t think I should even be complaining compared to your schedule. Hope you’re doing okay despite school/work, and don’t worry about the absence (though you are missed).

    Ktrion,
    See, that’s why I don’t like cats. On the other hand, my dog likes to wake me up, but he lives with the parents so he’s not here to wake me up.

    Trench,
    Oh, one alarm clock is on a bookshelf far enough away so that I have to get up. I still doesn’t help too much.

    Vette,
    Just eight or so weeks to go, right?

    Tremaine,
    I bet I annoy my roommates too. Oh well.

    Maria,
    Ah, the life of the sleepy student.

    Irasali,
    The alarm usually wakes me up, but I like going back to sleep. The best solution for me is another human. My dad does a good job because he knows I wake up in stages.

    Rue,
    I’m sure most people my age don’t get enough sleep either. I’m always yawning in class and have been struggling to stay awake during meetings this quarter. Not good.

    Bren,
    Thanks for the heads up! I’ll check it out.

    La Bella,
    Oh, I’d sleep ’til noon if I didn’t have to be in class or at work. Yup, yup, yup.

    Oso,
    Can I borrow your hammer? I like the rain too, but not when I don’t have an umbrella, my pants are too long, water gets in my shoes and wets my socks, and I’m far from home in Sacramento.

  8. Have you tried setting a radio on instead? Blast the sucker! My brother in Law has a huge speaker under his bed. When the radio goes off, so does he bed! haha. Only way to wake him up. Problem is, it wakes everyone else up too. We’ve grown used to it.

  9. Of course, you’re inviting me to ask, “are your pants too long or are you too short.” But then, you’re already having a tough week, so I won’t say it.
