To the original OP. I am in the same boat. I have never been able to get up either. If I have to be up early in the morning for something if I am not waken but someone else I will just sleep right through it. I can set every alarm in the house & it don't matter. I am glad you posted this. Also glad to hear there is someone else in the world like me.
My sister is one of those people that is horrid to wake up. Always was. The only thing that changed her was having her kids.
I'm the same as Tazer. I just tell myself "Right Puggy [coz I address myself informally] Up at 02.30hrs. I always wake up just 1-or-2 minutes before the allotted time. Been able to do it all my days,but have no idea how.
Well, I have no advice on the actually waking up part, but I can say once you figure that out, if you wake up at the exact same time every day for 3 weeks or so, your body will just be set to get up at that time and you won't even need an alarm. The trick is that you have to get up at that same time, be it a weekend or whatever. You have to stay up for 5-10 minutes, and then you can go back to sleep if you don't have to be up. Also, try to keep your eating schedule pretty regular, your digestive system can also be a good way to get yourself up and moving in the morning.
Hope it helps. Let us know. It will probably take a few nights or a week or so. I guess the headbanging part is to re-inforce the self hypnosis.
Lol, I am glad to know that there is someone else in the world like me too, lol...... I am not at all affected by the alarms whatever there number maybe.....
This I cannot do. This is because my routine is such that I am not in a position to go to bed earlier except on weekends. So what I can do is cut off my entertainment activities on the weekends and go to bed earlier then.
So, do you recommend me having kids, lol....... That is a big big no from me, lol..... For proof, please check out a thread which was started by me in the "Parenting" section.....lol......
Well, thanks so much for your tips. The most difficult part for me is the waking up at the same time because I have to go to office at different timings. Also, sadly but truly that me eating schedule is also pretty much irregular.
Yeah, I am trying on this these days. Will definitely keep you people updated on this. Thanks so much for all the tips so far. Hope it can turn something good for me.
It just happened only a few occasions in my life and as you said, yes, I kept on sleeping for hours. Generally, my mom is always around and she is well aware of this worst habit of mine, so she doesn't let that happen often thankfully.
I have tried everything lately in order to check this issue but so far, there hasn't been any improvement.
