Excessive Alarms!!!

    If one partner get up before the other in the morning should there be a limit on the amount of alarms they can set?

    My husbands alarm went off approx 10 times this morning over about half an hour, he gets up an hour before me. He then proceeds to turn on the light and make a truck load of noise getting dressed. He doesn't even need to be up that early he works 10 mins from our house he just like to get himself 'ready' for the day. When I used to commute and leave at stupid O'clock I had 1 alarm and got dressed in the bathroom so as not to disturb him.

    Would I have been in the wrong to have destroyed his phone this morning?

    I feel your pain, my wife sets her alarm for 5:30 so she gets a snooze! Actually gets up at 6:00, fupping drives me mad however I've yet to say anything. Will probably just crack one day!

    First they came for the socialists...

    No need to destroy phones. Keep a broom handle by the bed and get him in the ribs with it.

    I take it you've said it to him before coming to the internet to complain, right? What was his reaction?

    Wife hits snooze half dozen times every morning. Drives me nuts, she can actually sleep in between.

    Have approached the issue and I can confidently say the wounds I received have near completely healed with only minor scarring expected.

    Every time he wants sex, just tell him you're too tired because he woke you up so early. It'll stop soon enough.

    Also, get a fitness tracker, or something with a silent alarm. We really got ours so I wouldn't wake the kids, but it's dead handy for not waking up the other partner too.

    Yup! Many a time. Just wanted to see if it was a universal problem.

    When you wake during the night change the alarm times... Simples.

    Get up and make loads of noise an hour before he does get up and then go back to bed. He may realize quite quickly then.

    :pac::pac::pac: bribes I like it. Good idea with the silent alarm though, I must look into that.

    Or stick it somewhere else.

    My missus is up 6.30 for shower, hairdryer etc. I sleep normally with light foam ear plugs, most days never even hear the hair dryer, I feel your pain, first up should try as best they can to keep noise down and no bright lights

    out the window baby with the phone :)

    I get up on alarm or just before, I have everything placed so I don't need lights and can do everything in the dark.

    I go about the house and don't wake a soul...
