Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Looks like I'm the freak. Typically I wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off.
God, I WISH. Part of the thing for me is, I'm GOING to hit the snooze alarm. I just am. Partly because I'm lazy, partly because I actually really like the feeling of drifting back to sleep. That means that if I set the alarm for when I really need to get up, I'd hit the snooze anyway, so then I'd be late. As it is, I'm already hitting it past the point I need to get up because I'm so tired.
I remember one day last year when I woke up alert and refreshed and instantly realized a power outage must have shut off my alarm and made me oversleep by several hours.
It works better for deep sleepers/slow wakers like me. The first alarm isn't enough to actually get you fully awake, but the noise and hitting the snooze button pulls you far enough out of sleep that the next alarm can wake you up for real.
Yeah, this. Sleep bon and awake bon are two different people. Sleep bon is pretty much a craven addict that bargains away exercise, coffee, showering, hair brushing, and being on time for work for more sleep.
Ow, wow. If I could harness my overdeveloped guilt complex to get myself out of bed the moment my alarm went off and to get more exercise, I could rule the world.
There should be a snooze alarm that hits me back after I hit it twice.
bwah. true!

so much this I can't even express it.
One of those song chart things got me thinking about "Birdhouse in Your Soul."
ahhh! Earworm!!!
There was some comedian I was watching who talked about his sleep self, and how he would try to get up for work but this guy would say, "Sure, you could go to work, or you could go skiing, but your skis are made of french toast!" And he would say, "Awesome! That's much more fun!"
Mike Birbiglia!
basically sleep is just the extremest example of how I am inertia's bitch. It's so comfortable and easier to just stay in bed.

mac often has a hard time transitioning from one thing to another, especially if he does not know the schedule beforehand or if a schedule changes. I feel for him, because at my core, I am the same - it just gets buried deeper as I have less and less choice.
