How to wake up when my alarm clock goes off by SuezMaude

"Finally after years of struggling, I am now up at 6am! And haven't been late for work once!""

How I did it: I set the alarm clock 20 minutes fast so I had extra time (even if sleeping in for a few minutes or trying to work out what to wear) and I also set my mobile alarm (three times) to ensure that I really did get woken up.

Mind you I still don't get to bed on time, but at least I am up on time!

Lessons & tips: When the alarm goes off, get straight out of bed..

Put the alarm on very loud on the other side of your room so you have to get out of bed

Go straight to the shower and wake up in there

DO NOT GO BACK TO SLEEP!

Put the alarm clock on the other side of the room and set you cell phone alarm too. This is golden advice. Thank you so much.

Alarm

So you are not getting enough sleep.
It would be better to go to bed early enough so that you wake up before the alarm. That is how you know your body is getting the sleep it needs.
Sleeping right is just as important as eating right.

I have this exact problem. My room is kinda of small though, so I manage to walk four steps to my alarm, hit snooze, then take about two giant steps back to my bed and hit the pillow.

I need to put my alarm in the other room or something! :P
