That's a good result. No blaring alarm. Now when you wake up 1hr before the alarm and can't get back to sleep: yes that hurts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

More than 30 mins is good because I know I can sleep again or at least stay resting and cosy, less than 10 is good because I know I can keep my mind awake enough to get up feeling naturally well rested.

Fuck that sweet spot in the middle.

I get hyped when this happens.

My body has mastered time. I am above these mortal tools.

But if it plays before I can turn it off it scares me :(

It's like a jack in the box effect because you know it's coming but your soul still leaves your body when it goes off lol

Meeeee, specially since my alarm puts my spotify Playlist so it's takes another step from my list of things to in the morning :3

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

I don't understand why you're rolling your eyes in the title. Are you annoyed by your own post?

Anyway, I always prefer to wake up naturally as opposed by an alarm. Best case scenario to wake up by myself and on-time.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

less than a minute? No.

Between 10 to 30 minutes before. Yes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

If you consider the human brain works in 90 min chunks for most things including sleeping, that is completely within spec. For another chunk of sleep, you need to go to bed 60-80 min earlier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wait until you wake up before the alarm, but it's actually 20-30 minutes after.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Yes it did.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah but it didn't the rest of the day because being rested and not being woken up from an alarm is better than the alternative. 1 minute before is perfect. It's the 30 minutes that kills me

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I did this today. Beats the shit out 2.5 hours before it goes off, and nicer than hitting snooze every 5 minutes for half an hour.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I love 2.5 hours before it goes off. I tend to wake up dead to the world be it 5:30am or 7am. At least at 5:30 I can indulge my want to go back to sleep...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

2.5 hours before is fine, I'll just go back to sleep. Half an hour tho...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I feel like I have a superpower when that happens. Even if I still feel like shit and would obviously rather go back to sleep, it still feels better to wake up naturally than get woken up by the alarm.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

One of my top 5 personal rules is that I never look at what time it is if the amount of sleep I'm getting is part of the equation. I set my alarm for whatever time I must be awake, and otherwise, I wanna be left alone. Ignorance is bliss.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

There's a feeling of panic that sets in when you really don't want to hear the alarm and realize you had better rush to disable it before that last minute counts up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

About to get up because I've been rolling in the bed for half an hour... Checks clock, only 1 minute left... "Oh no, why, I'm so tired."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I personally can be tired all day But once I get home from work Wide awake And it's honestly frustrating

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Did? It is still hurting.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Implying I set an alarm. Implying every moment awake isn't pain. Get on my level of existential misery and dread

/S I'm actually in a pretty good place mentally.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

That's what we all say to ourselves.

I'm actually in a pretty good place mentally.

I too try to gaslight myself into thinking I am fine.

Nice to see one stranger on the internet that doesn't appear to be in an unending state of torture.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

No, I typically take that as a good sign; it means I have a routine so stable that my body is acclimating to it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

it's way worse, if you wake up like 10-15 minutes before alarm. when you can sleep back for a bit, but it will result in you waking up like you slept like 2 hours and you feel worse than a piece of shit... every day.... :D

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ha, literally this morning. Didn't hurt. I actually thought I forgot to set the alarm.

For others, this comment is "Hai," or "yes" in Japanese.

At what time does it go from "Aww shit" to "Nice"?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. I just decided to go 2 hours later to my own company and turned around again. That's why I started that whole thing years ago, literally with nothing. And you should too. I'm not working anymore, I'm just having fun. Ok, I'm not having weekends anymore, but honestly: my weekends are more fun today than ever. I'm in my shop, creating stuff, preparing stuff for the week, blasting my music on the company stereo - I'll never go back slaving for other people. Never.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Literally me this morning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You know it did. Don't be a jerk about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It hurt so much 😭
