I know lots of Buffistas have trouble with insomnia - is there anyone who has/had massive issues getting up on time and found ways to deal with it?
I call mine "the cats".
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Yay, Barb! I'm glad your day is going well. What kind of appetizers are you making?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My coping mechanism consists mainly of arriving late at work. Not sure I can recommend it as a long-term solution...

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, mine aren't as obnoxious as they would need to be to keep me awake. Although Bella made a valiant effort this morning by leaping and grabbing on to the curtain near the top. Thank heavens she's wee or the whole thing might have come down. But I just detached her from the curtain, hopped back into bed, and zzzz... Going back to sleep is kind of my superpower. Too bad it's also a super pain in my ass.

Yeah, that's been mine, too. I've already had one formal writeup, which has thankfully expired.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yes. I use multiple alarms, too, but they have to be far enough away that I have to get out of bed to turn them off. I have turned off the alarm next to my bed in my sleep enough that I need to physically get up and out of bed to turn off the 2nd alarm.
I have an alarm next to my bed that goes off first. I can hit snooze a couple of times before alarm 2 goes off. Alarm 2 is obnoxiously loud and in my bathroom (which is right outside my bedroom...if it were farther away, I might sleep through it).
Usually alarm 1 wakes me up enough that I hear alarm 2 with no problems. Alarm 2 is set for when I really really really need to be up or I will be oh so late.
Fortunately for my cat, he doesn't wake me up. I think he knows it would be ugly if he tried.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have a Joe. I highly recommend getting one.

And where can I get one of those? And, is he on sale?
TEPPY (or anyone else who knows): What is the name of the magic beer?? I finally found a liquor store with a good beer selection and was going to see if they carried it, but I couldn't remember the actual name and I figured asking for "magic beer" would not get me the desired results.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Put the alarm ACROSS the room. Not next to the bed. Open the blinds before you go to bed, if you live somewhere where that's not a safety issue.
Program a voice message on your cell's wake up alarm that is you, telling yourself "Time to get up, get your lazy ass out of bed, and get some shit done!" (That's my message verbatim."
And make the coffee BEFORE you go to bed.
That's all the stuff I did (at the same time, mind you) when I was single.
Now, I can just do the alarm, cause bf either wakes up way before me, or having him lying there hearing me be lazy is guilt enough when I have shit to do.
