 usually the Superman movie theme, which crescendos nicely and is very good to wake up to, but occasionally other soundtracks such as Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Altered States when I was feeling weird.


Speaking of that, and motivation, maybe you can find a song that makes you wanna get up, Racket. The Gap Band's "Early in the Morning" and Blue Oyster Cult's "Burnin' for You" used to pep me up for the day pretty well.

cat's are good for waking up early... if you have multiple them... and you wanna wake up at around 3am.

Why don't you use one of those thinkpads and install 'Citrus Alarm'? I wake up to three alarms, each progressively louder than the other.

Yes, I can sleep through a hurricane (I have in fact done that).

The most intense thing I've seen someone sleep through was a BB shot (from one of those spring powered pistols) directly to the head at a range of about 10 feet, followed by one in the nads. I shit you not.

drink a glass of cranberry juice and 2 glasses of water right before you fall asleep. then when you wake up you have to piss so bad it's uncomfortable to stay in bed

Make your wife start waking up first, and have her wake you up.

If I stay over at a girl's place and I have to be somewhere in the morning, I make them wake up to get me up. Otherwise, I can never get my ass outta bed.

Actually it works the opposite for me.

My wife is 10X as bad about getting up than I am.

 This might sound odd, but the only thing that's ever worked for me is to count down from 10 (just in my head, not out loud) and "just get up" when I hit zero. For some reason it's a lot easier to get out of bed with the countdown, but maybe that's some kind of subtle behavioral conditioning from playing too many timer-based video games. <_<


I used to do that, now that you mention it. I'd count down and then suddenly jolt myself up. Generally I wake up a few minutes before my alarm goes off.

This is really bizzarre, but when I had a radio alarm clock I quite often used to hear a song whilst I was dreaming then wake up and the same song would come on the radio when my alarm went off. Freaked me out every time.
