    05.45 , was 05.30 but now i have my morning routine fine tuned to allow 15 mins. extra kip

    which is why its odd that i cant drag my fat arse out of the bed before 11 on most of my days off :)

    8.40... fall out of bed about 8.45 into the shower, usually listen to kids in the car on FM104 and sitting at my desk for 9.01! :) The joys of having a home office! :D

    I can't leave the house without a shower tbh. If I was running late I'd still have a shower.

    Those snoozes don't work for me. I'm a lazy bastard and I just keep pressing snooze without even noticing. I actually have to put the phone on the other side of the room to force me to get up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 246 ✭✭Mohanned

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,424 ✭✭✭joejoem

    06.40, snooze til 06.50


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,488 ✭✭✭SantaHoe


    9:02am ... thanks for asking.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 18,004 Mod ✭✭✭✭ixoy


    08:06 (yeah that's right 06). Funny thing is I think I've only had it buzz me once in the last three years - every other time I've woken up automatically five-ten minutes beforehand and switch it off before it rings out. And no I don't fall back asleep either. Ah the wonders of an internal alarm...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 853 ✭✭✭case_sensitive


    7.40 3 x 7min snoozes, leave house before 8.40 and I'm on time, but let's be honest, I'm rarely on time.
    today was a doozy, alarm went off at 7.40 and 9.20. Been lying low all morning trying to look busy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭D!ve^Bomb!


    4.30am.. a few snoozes, out of bed at 5.20 and out of the house by 5.30


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,959 ✭✭✭Nala


    7.30, so I can have a few snoozes and be out & showered by 8.30.

    (Yes, I take a long time to get ready...).

    Though if I'm really pushing it, I can get ready in 20-30 mins.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    8.15. I'n in work by 8.30.

    Alarm clock set 15 minutes forward, car clock set 20 minutes forward, so every morning I s88t myself that I'm late. Not good for the blood pressure.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    This week, 06:25, allowing for one snooze.

    In work at 8.

    And it is my phone, not a clock.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,741 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    8.15, get up around 8.30, shower, wake up, in work for 9.30


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    I use my phone as an alarm.

    It's set for 7.50am, three snoozes, then out of bed at 8.20am. In work for 9am.
    Mondays I don't start till 10am, so the alarm is set for 8.50am :)

    Have it set for 7.00 but I hit the snooze button quite a few times before I manage to struggle out of the bed!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭Zombienosh


    isnt it a bitch when you forget to turn it off for your day off........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I set mine for about 9 O'Clock. And have about 5 or 6 snoozes... I'm usually in work at about 10.

    I use my phone, but I turn it off. Top Tip: The alarm still works on most phones even when they are turned off...

    I have got a digital alarm clock buried somewhere in my room. Many years ago I must have set it at 5.30am for some reason. It still goes off every morning though, I have no idea where it is. But as each year passes the battery loses power and the alarm becomes fainter and fainter....

    08:00 on a friday.

    6:35 but my clock is set 10 minutes fast for some reason. I think its a physcologial thing so its really 6:25


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 509 ✭✭✭Pinkchick03


    Mmm i seem to be one of the early risers - I set my alarm for around 5.40 - enough for about 2 snoozes - get up just after 5.50 or so! It's not so bad getting up at that time in the last week or so - it's starting to get bright just after 6! I use my mobile phone as an alarm clock and another alarm clock as I tend to turn off my alarm on my phone and go back to sleep!

    I think a poll would've been better for this post??!!

    Yeah, but it's a great feeling when you realise your mistake and can turn over again :D

    I use my phone which I've set to go off at 7.45 - no snooze, straight out and shower and at my desk at 9.00am.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    I set it for 7:30 and when I wake up reset it for 8:00

    I love that extra 30 minuts in bed, the snooze on my phone is only 5 minutes so that would only anoy me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    i didn't even bother plugging in my alarm clock when i got home last night :)

    back when i was working, i'd set it for 6:20 - enough time for 4 snoozes before 7...
    will be starting on the evening shift on my new job, so i'll hopefully be able to avoid using my alarm clock alltogether :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭D!ve^Bomb!


    i remember when i used to have to get up around 7 or 8.. i'd love it if i woke up in the middle of the night and then realize i had another few hours sleep...

    so from then on i used to set my alarm for 4am, wake up, reset it for 7 and go back to sleep for 3 hours:D

    9.50 monday
    8.50 tuesday
    2pm wednsday
    10.50 thursday
    2pm friday

    not at all weekends.

    -i sleep very little before monday tuesday and friday hence the late lie ins on my day offs

    thank god for living less then 100 feet from university (jump the backwall and there i am...its a big wall though...)

    next big question...

    what is your alarm?

    your radio?

    A buzzer?

    mobile?

    I use my computer...set it to pick a random song in my hd...its quite interesting cause depending which song comes on affects the rest of my day. Good song makes me lie there relaxing...average song i will let play but will get up....one of my sisters song....then its a rapid dive out of the bed to kill the volume as quick as possible. then i will be grumpy and cynical for most of the morning.


    i love showers...hate the shower in my accom though...possessed by the devil i think.

    Weekdays; 06:50
    Weekends; 13:00

    Vibrating phone under the pillow wakes me up, and the ultra-loud alarm-clock wakes me up more. Or wakes everyone else up, and they'll wake me up so that I'll turn the alrm off :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 460 ✭✭dcarroll
