    I'm probably a bit odd (well ok I am odd but that's for another day) in that I have never used the snooze function or had a lie in. Weekdays I'm up at 7am and weekends I'm up at 8am. Thats what I set my alarm to and get up when it goes off, I have never hit the snooze button.

    The exception is if I am out drinking the night before but even then my drunken self still sets the alarm just an hour later than usual. I still obey my alarm after drinking because A. I feel it's better to get up and moving and B. If I lied in I wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

    I had a falling out with my alarm clock a few years ago..........haven't seen it since.

    He said it was time to get up..........i disagreed.

    I'm terrible I set the alarm at 6, then 6.30, then 6.45 then 7, then maybe 7.10, but I'm runnning late if I sleep in those extra 10 minutes. I think I believe that one day I'll get up between 6 and 6.30...

    It's those interrupted sleep that you get in the morning which screws everything up and makes you more tired. Best thing really is to go to bed at a set time every night like 10pm and then wake up at 6am. If you go to bed late, you'll wake up late and tired. I've noticed that by staying up late for even one day, it messes up your body clock and you fall back into going to bed late - waking up late pitfall.

    My Jack Russell wakes me every morning at 6.30am , in fact he wakes the neighbours too..
    At about 6.25am he launch's himself at the back door to get out for an early morning slash... after he hits the door about four or five times the intruder alarm activates , I think its called gross attack or pulse attack in alarm technology .
