The key is that first time the alarm goes off. You need to get out of bed then or it WILL NOT happen. That's been my experience anyway.

You realize you could have had another 80 minutes of uninterrupted sleep if you'd only been honest with yourself and turned the alarm off the night before?
I'm not helping, am I?

How did my morning go? OK, you asked the WRONG person--an admitted morning facist with no sympathy for lollygagging.
0303: awake and look at clock. Close eyes.
0406: awake and look at clock. Breath deeply, stretch, close eyes.
0417: awake, arise quietly because no alarm is set to disturb me or the Mrs., eat breakfast, check e-mail, change into gear and go to masters swim practice.
0530: 2300 yards of lucious BOO YAH!
MOVE IT, LIL' SISTAH. YOU'RE A FREAKIN' ATHLETE.
. . . m'kay, maybe time for somoe decaf now.

Mmm. Yeah. That was my morning pretty much to a T. I was hoping to make the 6:30 yoga class.
Not so much. Maybe I'll give it another valiant try next week.
Ah shit. I just got a sunflower seed in my bra. Sunuva.......

almost exactly the same, but it started at 6:32, and ended at 8:45 every nine minutes.

Mine was a combo between you and Greyhound.
6:00 Alarm goes off - hit snooze
6:08 alarm goes off - I can handle one more snoose fest
6:15 - alarm goes off. Get up.
go swim 2200 meters
Life is good.
When I really start training Monday will be my day off so I hope you enjoyed yours.

You've just described how every morning for the past month has been for me. If you figure out how to get up to work out on a consistant basis, let me know!
Great blog!

Set alarm for 6 am with the intention of biking for a half hour. But, I slept in until 6:35 and didn't bike at all. Lame. You're not alone.

Sounds like a lot of my mornings...I try to tell myself I can only snooze twice...that rarely (if ever) happens...even mornings I'm awake and feeling fine I STILL want to snooze...
Posted by: Danielle | January 10, 2008 12:40 PM
torture. that's why i blew apart my alarm clock which is even worse because i wake up every hour for fear of oversleeping.
