Question of The Day. Saturday 29th of May.

[Norachan]

Hello.



I'm feeling pretty sleepy today. I have to get up early for work on the weekends and I'm not a morning person.

How do you wake up in the morning? Do you have an alarm clock? Do you wake up naturally? Do your cats wake you up? I guess that would be alarm cats, right?

If it's a morning where I have to be up before 8 am I set an alarm, there's no way I'd wake up naturally before then. On the mornings I don't have to be up I try to sleep in, but I usually have cats walking over my head demanding breakfast a few minutes after 8. Then, once they've been fed, they spend the rest of the morning asleep.



How do you wake up?

Monday through Friday I use an alarm because I have to be up at 0230 for work. Weekends I normally just wake up naturally around 0700.

 

[Tik cat's mum]

I normally get woken by the boy's between 4.30 to 5am. Even when they do decide to have a sleep in I wake up for 6am most day's it's unusual for me to sleep longer.

 

[Kat0121]

I use the alarm on my phone

 

[strider rose]

I have an alarm for feeding the cats, though sometimes they wake me up early (don't get fed early, though) and also set alarms for feeding J overnight. Usually I get up for tge day when she's moving around instead of a feeding alarm.

Since I still live at home, my mum usually wakes me up. I can't sleep peacefully knowing I have an alarm set, and will wake up ever couple hours to be sure I haven't missed it. I do have an alarm cat that steps on my face to announce she's back inside. Not once, but closer to 3 times every morning... And not in a set time either.

I usually wake up naturally about 5 am but when I worked I always had to use an alarm.

 

[Maria Bayote]

My phone alarm is always set at 5:30 am, but I also always wake up naturally at 4am to go to the bathroom. Then I'd feed the cats, water the plants, scoop the litter box, prepare my lunch box to bring to work, etc. By the time my phone alarm goes off at 5:30 am, I would be ready to take a shower and leave for work at 6:30am.

I sleep odd hours. I wake up naturally, some times around 1:00am have a cuppa hen go back to sleep for a few hours.
Up again till mid day the have a nap.

 

[LTS3]

I have an alarm clock and one cat who takes that as his cue to whine until I get up.

I have an alarm clock set on the days I work in the mornings, just in case...however I rarely need it. I naturally wake up between 6:30 and 7:30 am, but the cats start the waking process sometimes as early as 5:00am. I'll never actually get up at 5, but whenever they come in for their mornings cuddles, I doze on and off until its time to get up.
Sleeping in is a thing of the past...I'm out of bed between 7 and 7:30 am, even on weekends.

When I have to be up at an earlier time than usual I not only set one alarm clock but two, lol. One electric and one manual. The manual one just in case the power goes out which has happened before. I rarely sleep late anymore but on the rare occasion I do I feel like I wasted part of the day. If I do oversleep Carleton is sure to let me know. First he meows loudly, then if I don't get up he jumps on the bed and gets in my face.

I have a furry alarm clock with no snooze button. Usually goes off some time between 5:30 AM and 6 AM.

I'm a morning person, but since I'm retired, I don't always necessarily want to get that early.

It's a good thing I love her

 

[aliceneko]

I use the alarm on my phone.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I usually wake up naturally; but it takes a few tries. I like to roll over and stretch and let my body get used to the idea before I try standing up. It protests less that way.

 

[susanm9006]

I normally go to bed at 10:00 pm and wake up between 7:00 and 8:30. After 43 years of alarm clocks to get up for work I would never use one on a daily basis. I try to avoid early appointments but if I have one I have Alexa wake me.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I use a couple of alarms for work days and then on non-work days I usually rely on my cats to wake me up, but it's usually the dog who wakes me up now because I don't want her to pee on the floor.

 

[mani]

Alarm on phone. It's the mahamritunjaya mantra, so I wake up at one with the universe.

 

[Silver Crazy]

I have the TV in the other room timer set to turn on in the mornings with volume down low and just the gentle sound of voices, I hate waking with a start like with alarm clocks and such, makes me wake up grumpy. But the split second the TV turns on there is a thump on the bed and a little paw sneaks under the blanket and tickles my toes and then its playtime for a while then I finally get up and navigate to the nearest coffee cup..
Lot better than a few months ago when it used to be zoomies all over the bedroom first thing.
