Its time to wake up...but how?

A predicament has arrised and I find myself being required to rise from the ashes of sleep a tad earlier than usual. Around 4 am should do it.

Only trouble is, I go to bed around midnight (this cannot be changed) and I need OTs best advice on waking.

Preferably quiet techniques, I don't wan't to wake the neighbourhood. But all I try at the moment is shining my bedside lamp in my face.

Please share your knowledge on how to awaken, or just tell us how goddamn lazy you are :P

A hot shower.

well with that schedule you may not be getting enough sleep, in which case there wont be a whole lot that will help you. but for me i always find a shower and just simply moving/walking around to help the most.

I have a problem waking up too, I know how to turn the alarm off in my sleep.

2-3 Alarms, and away from bed. One of the biggest worries I had going into college was how I was going to wake up, because alarms never woke me up.

Now, I have 2 alarms go off, and both away from my bed, and since my bed is a loft, I have to get down and turn it off. It helps a lot.

Put your alarm clock in a place where you have to get out of bed and walk over to it to turn it off.

this should work.

9 glasses of water before midnight will wake you up at 4 am most likely, but it's terribly unhealthy to only go with four hours of sleep a day. What's the good reason for not being able to sleep til midnight, and having to wake up at four, anyways?

Why can't you go to bed earlier than midnight?Rocky32189

Well, first of all I need like three alarms to wake me up. So I don't think I'm exactly in the position to give advice :P

BUT.....

I'd suggest splashing your face with some cold water and taking a short walk outside or something. Exercising helps, if you're into that sort of thing, along with eating breakfast which tends to make one feel more energized from starting the metabolism.

this is whyI put my phone on my desk, a good ten feet from my head.

:lol: I do the same thing. I don't remember switching my alarms off.

Coffee and Cold Shower Yeahh.,...;)Darthkaiser

:P thanks for your help guys, from the looks of it, water is a pretty useful waking tool. I'll have to try some of this stuff :)

Set 3 loud alarms set 1 to 2 minutes apart (If you are using a clock radio I recommend setting them to the radio function, tuning it to a music station you hate, and turning the volume all the way up) The loudest of which should require you to physically get out of bed to be able to reach it to turn it off. Make sure you hit the snooze button not the off button just in case you accidentally fall back asleep. Then a very hot or very cold shower followed by copious quantities of caffeine should do the trick well enough for one day.

i always set my alarm to go off about 45 minutes before i need to get up, then set it again 30 minutes later, then10 minutes, then 5 minutes...
