On work days, after your alarm goes off, how long do you remain in bed before you actually get up?

What do you find yourself doing between that first alert and actually getting up?

Do you have wake up rituals?

How long do you let it continue?

Sometimes around 10-20 minutes. Usually checking the time (both phones and watch), followed trying to find my water bottle (which I bring when I sleep on my bed). Around 2-3 minutes

Either immediately get up or spend some minutes harassing myself to get up. Non work days way longer to get up.

If my alarm ever goes off, it's while I'm in the shower because I forgot to dismiss it.

My alarm is set for 6am but my dog wakes me up at 5 every day

I don't use an alarm (well, I do use alarms when I cook or make tea, just not for getting up). I wake up at the same time everyday. Have been doing so for decades.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's legitimately interesting to me. Do you ever try to sleep in, like on holiday?

[–] Libb@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From time to time I will oversleep, but that's the exception (and not an issue since I don't have a 9-5 kind of job) but it's not related to being on holidays or not.

It's just that I like to work very early in the morning (late at night?), between 4AM and 8, when the house and the whole city around us is almost completely silent (we live in a busy spot, in Paris)

Ah yes. The silent hours. 💜

The whole day

I've been waking up almost an hour before my alarm lately. I don't mind ~20 minutes early, but an hour is too much. Time to reevaluate my bedtime and prep.

So currently, I wake up too early, toss and turn a bit, start the coffee maker from a phone app (so stupidly extra but I love it), and toodle around on my phone.

When you wake up early, are you not able to fall back asleep quickly?

Alarm? You all use alarms?

[–] Jomn@jlai.lu 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I usually wake up before the alarm. If I don't, I get up immediately, I don't like staying in the bed.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm already out. The alarm is a backup.

[–] GlassHalfHopeful@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

This is honestly amazing. 💜
