I have never understood the whole snooze alarm thing, because once I'm awake, it takes me at least 20 minutes to get back to sleep--if then. better set the alarm for the latest possible time and sleep straight through. Jealous of all you drowsy, relaxed, fall back to sleep types.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am a snooze alarm type, and my gf is very jealous of my ability to just zonk out when my head hits the pillow, too.

I am, at times, lucky that an alarm clock works at all. I used to employ three alarm clocks placed all around my room, one of them the old fashioned type with the bells on top that sounded like a fire alarm going off. I would still miss my 8:30 classes. (I just solved that by not registering for anything before 11:30.)
Now I just use two alarm clocks, and usually I wake up. If the radio doesn't wake me up at 7:30, the music for the 8 o'clock news on the CBC seems to have magical powers of cutting through sleep. Unfortunately, I'm supposed to be to work at 8:30.

I almost always wake up before the alarms, actually, but I need them for the sleep-in.

I am never awake when I get up. I can oversleep very easily. I haven't been able to get up on time since NPR booted Bob Edwards. his voice was the only thing that cut through my fog.

So, ALIAS - am I the only one who yelled GILES!!! when Robin Sachs appeared. Yep, just me then.
Sleep. Interesting concept - I don't seem to do much of it anymore. I'd have to place my average somewhere around 4-6 hours. This may be the inevitable result of a morning person who mutated into a night owl. I can't say I'm lively in the morning, and, despite the fact that getting back to sleep once I'm within an hour of when I absolutely have to get up (7am) is well nigh impossible, sometimes I fight it like a demon. Other times, I'm up and out of bed as soon as my eyes open. I drag ass during the day sometimes (especially after lunch), but the mornings aren't usually a problem and I don't get to bed before midnight most nights, and it's usually at least a half hour later before I'm asleep.
Also, I can't remember the last time my alarm actually woke me up. I set it every night, but no matter what I set it for, somehow I seem to wake up at least 5 minutes before it goes off. I REALLY don't get me, quite honestly. Not anymore - I used to be able to sleep until mid-afternoon.

Oh yeah, having just started watching, what Jessica said.
Anyone know if Victor Garber wants to leave the show ?
