I have two solutions. They don’t always work but they do help. 1) Make a promise to yourself in the evening that you will get up as you hear the buzzer. Visualize this and think about measures you can take if you still want to hit the Snooze button. 2) Count backwards from 5 and jump out of your bed. While counting you don’t have time to make up excuses for yourself. I have the best results using 1 and 2 together...
When that happens I see it as my body or mind wanting more rest. It’s not an easy solution but the best one I found is to expect yourself to do a little less and go to sleep earlier. We often don’t give our body all that it needs. It’s actually a super important part of accomplishing everything important that you want!
Set loud alarm or you can set natural soothing alarm. Experiment which works for you. Keep the alarm clock away from the bed.
I do very much so. A Wake Up Light helps. But also agreeing with myself to NEVER hit it, makes it a bit easier. Have to renew that a few times per month though.
I found a great one. Have 2 alarm clocks. Put the main one on the other side of the room and a side alarm right next to the bed. Put the side alarm ring one minute before the main alarm. When you hear the side alarm, you will know that you have one minute till you will have to stand up and walk across the room to disable the second one. This minute of waiting will energise your body for the task and you will wake you up.
I hit the snooze button at least once every day. I get through it by thinking of all the things I could be getting done instead of laying in bed. I think of something that I really look forward to doing in the morning, which is usually just having time for a cup of coffee and relaxing. If I sleep in I won’t be able to do that and my whole day feels rushed.
Definitely, many people set up their alarm way too early because they know they’ll snooze it many times. Try putting your alarm somewhere out of reach. Maybe on the table so that you have to get up to turn it of. Put your glass of water next to it so that you drink it straight away.
Hi, I hate to say this but I don’t hit the snooz button, I just simply ignore my alarm. Or I am so knocked out I sleep past tehe alarm time because I was dead asleep. The best remedy for not having to hit the snooze button really begins the night before when you go to bedroom, that is what time you hit the sack and how well you keep your promise of making your nighttime routine a reality, the dark and noiseless bedroom If these routines are faithfully completed the night before then the need for more sleep won’t be felt so greatly the next morning when the alarm sounds, and if you do feel the need to hit the snooze button after several nights of night routines, the urge to hit snooze will slack off
No, when my alarm goes off in the morning I wake up right away, why and how you ask. Well i’m the mornings there’s a game that I love to play. So every morning I look forward to playing it.
I think getting up in the morning is simply a function of sleeping late. What has worked for me is to not open my laptop once I am back to home. I also think that we fight our sleep for that interesting video on YouTube, Facebook it Instagram and I have been able to tell myself that I am too tired to watch this and have dozed off immediately after. Don’t fight your sleep for anything.
