How do I stop hitting the snooze button?

Let’s face it, you know just how many times you hit that button. Do you really believe that the interruption is going to give you the extra sleep you want? It isn’t because now your brain is awake and aware so good luck making those extra minutes count as rest. Instead try changing your alarm to accommodate your snooze button habit. If your alarm is set for 6am and you hit the snooze twice for the “extra” 20 minutes, just set your alarm for 6:20 am instead and get up when it goes off. Also it helps if you have your alarm across the room away from your bed so hitting the snooze button won’t be so tempting. Seriously, once your feet hit the floor your bladder takes control and then your stomach. By then you are up for the day.

Create a specific habit or activity in the morning that will motivate you in the morning. For example, I look forward to getting up in the morning to exercise.

set your phone a bit further away from you, so that u actually have to get up to snooze it or to turn it off, and set a differeent alarm sound, cause i was snoozing my alarm when i got used to the sound of it, but when i put a new sound, i got alerted and couldn’t just snooze it

Try putting your alarm on the other side of the room so that you have to get out of bed to silence it. Or change the settings on it so that snooze is not an option. You could also make a sort of "puzzle" around it so that it’s more difficult to turn it off and you have to wake up a little more before you do. I hope this was helpful! :)

I’ve struggled with this one on and off a lot and I’ve found two things help. First is putting my phone or alarm on the other side of the room so I have to walk to turn it off. Second is going to bed early enough to get enough sleep that I don’t constantly feel like I’m fighting for those extra minutes in the morning. It’s still hard and I’m not always perfect but it’s helped drastically cut down on my snooze button habit! I also try not to be too hard on myself when I do hit snooze because that seems to make me spiral into worse sleep habits than when I try and cut back with self compassion. Hope this helps!

Put multiple alarm times and try to hide your alarm clock around the room, far away from your bed or maybe sometimes outside of your room before the night that you are going to bed. It will force you to try to find the alarm and move around that could maybe help to keep your body awake will try to search for the alarm clock.

I recommend you putting your phone or alarm clock on the opposite side of your room so this way you are forced to get up.

Go on your phone and scroll through tiktok or any outher apps on your phone , you can also get your neighbor to phone you in the morning to wake you up

Hey snoozer! I understand from personal experience that hitting the snooze button is a very pleasurable, but guilty thing we all do. “Just five more minutes!” we think. But in reality, this small action impacts how the rest of our day goes; and typically for the worse. But luckily, there are some small, easy actions you can take in the morning to stop this action, and those are… 1. Drink some sips of water 2. Throw your covers off 3. Get out of bed right when you wake up! (The more you lay there, the worse it gets) 4. Some fast paced breathing exercises (quickly inhaling and exhaling) 5. Spray yourself with water I hope these tips help! If not, there are some other very helpful tips online that you can try. Happy waking!

This is something I used to do a lot. I stopped setting the alatm now and still wake up more or less on time. Less exact of course, but more or less. If you have to wake up at a specific time, try putting the alarm farther away so you have to get up.
