Alarm clocks.

So we have had alarm clock issues.... forever. But now with L, lack of sleep leads to even worse issues. So I'm curious:

   1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?

   2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?

   3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own?

       1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze? I want to set it for the time we have to get up, but DH is a "snoozer". He sets the alarm for 5am, with no intention of getting up before 5:30am.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? DH- half an hour

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? We have always shared, but this may change.

      

  • 1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze? I set it for the time I want to get up.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? About 30 minutes, but I don't snooze. 

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? We have 2 alarms, which he sets to blaring music.  I set my iphone.

    I must say no matter how early I wake up, I run late.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? We share an alarm, unless one of us has to be at work hours early.  But most of the time, we get up at the same time.

  • I set my cell phone alarm for 5am and keep hitting the snooze. Then my actual alarm for 5:15am. Then hit snooze on both till 5:30am then get up. When I started using two I did it to trick myself so when i heard the second one/new sound, i knew to get right up. Buuut that doesn't work anymore... my body has caught on lol. Half the time anymore, I don't even realize im hitting either one till its 5:30.

    As for tj. I leave at 6:30 and just reset the actual alarm for him when I say bye.

       1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze? Depends on the day. Typically for the time I want to get up, but no more than 15 minutes earlier.  I usually hit snooze regardless.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? If I do set it early, about 15 minutes.

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? We both use our separate blackberries.  I hate hearing my alarm tone as someone else's ring tone, though. It seriously makes me cringe. I hate that noise! Angry  I don't know what Vik's alarm sounds like, or if he even sets it, because he rarely has to be to work until early afternoon.

    I set it for about 30 mins before I really have to get up because I am a snoozer! DH sets his for 30 mins before when he thinks the baby is going to get up and 2 hours before he has to be at work. I always run late so you would think I would get up earlier but sleep is so nice!

  • 1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?

    There's a bit of a buffer in there, but only for like 1 snooze

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?

    10-15 minutes

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own?

       Share.  I get up first and get ready a bit and then I come wake him by 7:30

       1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?earlier and hit snooze ...i give myself a 30 minute window for snoozing if necessary. H hates it tho so we're working to snooze less in the mornings

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?30 minute buffer

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own?right now we get up at about the same time so we share

      

  • Dex gets up at 5:00am and if he sleeps until 5:01 Nettie starts whining to be fed. I no longer use an alarm clock but am looking forward to needing one again someday.

     

  •    1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?
    I set the alarm for the time I want to get up.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?
    I do the actual time.  DH sets his for 15 minutes earlier and then snoozes.  It drives me crazy.

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own?
    We have separate alarms.  It's actually pretty annoying because DH snoozes so on the days he walks the dog he sets the alarm for 6:30 and snoozes till 6:45 but I'm up once the alarm goes off so I get the joy of either getting up early or lying in bed until I actually want to get up at 6:45 to shower.  On the days I walk the dog he doesn't even hear my alarm go off at 6:15.  He sets his for 7 and gets up around 7:20.

  •    1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze? i am a snoozer

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? I  set it for 30 mintues before i have to get up


       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? i get up first and he is usually watching tv by the time i leave

      

  • 1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?   Earlier . I am bad about this. I like to think that I need to wake up gradually.

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for?  About 30 minutes.  I generally hit snooze (9min) two or more times.

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own?  I get up earlier so my alarm is set. He doesn't need one. He just gets up sometime after I leave. He will set his phone alarm if he needs to get up earlier than me.

    **Extra info - I LOVE my alarm clock. It is a nature sounds alarm clock so I wake up to a babbling brook every morning.  The longer it runs the louder it gets so you will wake up gradually.  I hate those alarm clocks that sound like sirens.

     

  •    1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze?  i snooze, so does TJ

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? usually 2 snoozes (20 minutes) but its been getting a little worse lately.   but recently, i've been setting my alarm for 6:15 and TJ is setting his for 6:20, and we both snooze, so an alarm is going off every 5 minutes.  i put an end to that, though. 


       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? we each set our own phone.

       1- do you set the alarm for the time you want to get up, or for an earlier time & keep hitting the snooze? Earlier so I can snooze :)

       2- how long in advance of the actual time you want to get up do you set the alarm for? Depends on how early I need to be up, the earlier the longer the snooze mainly because I usually don't hear it the first alarm or two before I actually register the alarm is/has been going off. On a regular work day, I get up at 6:30 and set the alarm for 6.

       3- do you and DH (if applicable) share an alarm, or set your own? I am usually the first one up so I wake up DH. If he has to get up before me he'll set an alarm for himself, but since he's deaf in 1 ear and always sleeps on his hearing ear he never hears it and I end up nudging him so he can turn it off.
