    Is there ever an easy way to get up in the morning.

    Seriously, I struggle so bad at getting up. It's a nightmare. I got up this morning and ran into a skirting board and banged my foot of it.

    Your bedroom must be tiny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Caveman1

    You need to grow up or go to bed earlier.

    Dark mornings make it hard to get out of bed, you'll be grand when they get brighter..

    have breakfast instead of going for a jog in your bedroom

    The only way to avoid getting up in the morning is to stay awake all night.

    Get yourself a stalker, one dressed as a murderous clown preferably, and get him to look in your bedroom window at 45 minute intervals.

    Problem solved.

    Ya?

    Wouldn't the username need to be something like 'ILoveGettingUp' to be ironic?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 764 ✭✭✭hedzball


    Remove the skirting board and you will remove the fear of getting up.

    The only time I hate getting up is if I had slept badly during the night. Other than that I love getting up in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭Smeggy


    I agree with OP. Really struggle to get up in the morning no matter how much sleep I get.. Could be because I hate my job :pac:

    Alanis Morisette would beg to differ.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,846 ✭✭✭Fromthetrees


    Take loads of pills and coke and by early morning you'll be shaking, white like a ghost with a jaw going ninety and sweating like a maniac so there'll be no need for nasty noisy alarm clocks my friend.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To


    Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

    And boring.

    Thread title has a completely different meaning for men.

    Make some candyfloss and place it on your feet, it will slow you down, that is all.

    There in lies your problem, try to beat it, jump out on the first bell, that is all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 284 ✭✭HTML5!


    Getting up and 05:30/06:00 is great!! Even earlier sometimes, depending what time I fall asleep.

    You can get so much done! And it's great being up when everyone else is asleep. Zero distractions. :)

    Just practice getting up early.

    Put your alarm in a place so that you have to get out of bed to turn it off. There's loads you can do to be an early riser.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,002 ✭✭✭Seedy Arling


    Yeah, i've problems getting it up too.

    Wait, what?

    It's easy enough you just rise into the sitting position swing your arse at a right angle to the bed so your feet will be on the floor then simply stand up ;)

    PM me, I can be your guy on this.

    Yes you are right, wait does have something to do with it as it may or might take you longer to get out of the sack.

    Even better, get a daylight alarm clock (like this, for example).

    It's made it much easier for me to get up on dark mornings, and stops me being quite such a zombie for the first while. The light gets brighter gradually before it's time to get up.

    So you are admitting to being a zombie, that is all.

    Amen! You're either pretty darn lucky or delusional if you wake up every morning thinking, "I can't wait to go to work!"
    My bed is like an anchor for my sanity... while work is constantly trying to rob me of it. Dx Just five more minutes... zzzz...

    Sleep in the garden, and ask her would she like to wake up to natural sunlight, that is all.

    True, but it is ironic in the context of this thread.

    The user loves sleep (obviously) but yet asked for advice on how best to get up in the morning and so therefore Basq's observation adequately meets the Oxford English definition of:
    Ironic: happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.
    The request was indeed contrary to what one would expect that user to ask (based on their username) and I (and evidently others) were wryly amused by it. Double whammy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭danslevent


    I find getting up so hard too, everyone does really. I find it takes me twenty minutes to even be able to get out of bed.

    What helps me is putting my beside heater on when I first wake up, snooze for a while and then it's easier to get out of bed when the room isn't freezing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭danslevent


    OR, drink loads of water before falling asleep so you will wake up in the morning bursting to go. Then you'll have to get up ;)

    And you stay hydrated! :D

    Interesting choice of words, that is all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭ITS_A_BADGER


    OP get two alarms set one up beside your bed just outta your reach, then set the other one for 3 mins later and put that alarm clock just far enough away that you can hear it and you have to get outta bed to turn it off, works for me might work for you

    I dunno, its all subjective really isn't it?

    with the right music and vocal talents (which you will have to imagine for yourself) I submit the following to be ripped apart by the boards/ah lyrical and musical cognoscenti



    Well, I got up this morning

    dun dun dun

    and ran into a skirting board

    dun, dun, dun

    and banged my foot of it

    dun dun dun

    but I dont care

    dun dun dun

    no no I just dont care

    dun dun dun

    Cos my baby done left me!

    dun, dun dun

    and ran of with another man!

    dun, dun dun

    its true he cant play no guitar

    dun dun dun

    but he got hisself a job

    dun dun dun

    and a shiny new BMW

    dun dun dun

    Well I hate that m0ther****er!
    Cos my baby she left me
    But not alone!
    Its me and my guiiitar
    This broken home!

    dun dun dun

    A bottle of jack!
    These worn out shoes!
    Well I guess its time for me to sing the blues

    dun dun dun
    dun dun dun

    (some exceptional blues guitarwork ensues - etc etc and so on and so forth)

    +perhaps some reference to the artists alcoholism and inability to wake up on time in the morning driving her away forever


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    I make sure I get up with time to have breakie and "surf in the internet" (it's the latest thing :cool:) and have a decent length shower. I've it timed down to the last minute. You'll never catch me running late and pegging it around trying to find my knick-knacks and keys. Mornings are a pleasure cos I've fit in enough time to have an auld cup of tea. Makes you dread them less when you know you can relax a bit before work. Make sure you're getting 7.5 hours sleep a night.
