    I’ve started using my favorite podcast as an alarm, along with a lamp plugged into a timer outlet. Works absolute wonders. Set both to turn on half an hour before I want to wake up, and it’s just enough to wake me up without ruining my morning

    Of course I still have an emergency GET THE FUCK UP YOU’RE GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK alarm, but it’s rare that I actually need it

      Yeah. Changing to a light based alarm did wonders for me.

      That and having a job I don’t have to show up on the dot for…

        I wish it did that for me when I had one of those jobs… That job is why I still need that “you’re gonna be late” alarm. It’s hard to kick the habit of staying in bed until I feel like going to work, because I don’t feel like going to work

          Now that I have kids I have no choice but to get up anyway!

          But I set up light alarms in their rooms too so that everyone gets the same chance at waking up in the morning.
